What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
importanceDrug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) could be valuable to determine an appropriate therapeutic pressure for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
objectiveThe continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) determined by DISE was regarded as equal to the conventional titrating pressure. There is no study comparing the DISE-titrating pressure and the home-based automatic CPAP (APAP) titrating pressure. This study compared the DISE-titrating pressure, conventional titrating pressure, and home-based APAP titrating pressure.
designRetrospective comparative cohort study.
settingThis study was conducted in a single medical center in Taiwan.
participantsA total of 59 participants with OSA who had 3 titrating pressures determined by DISE, conventional titration and home-based APAP titration were analyzed.Interventions or Exposures:Therapeutic CPAP pressure was determined by 3 methods: DISE, conventional titration, and home-based APAP titration.
main outcome measuresHome-based APAP titrating pressure was determined as 90% to 95% of APAP used at home for 2 weeks. The DISE-titrating pressure was determined manually based on direct visualization of upper airway patency during DISE examination. The conventional titrating pressure was determined manually under polysomnography (PSG) guidance in a sleep center. The correlation and difference between these 3 pressures were analyzed.
resultsThe home-based APAP titrating pressure, conventional titrating pressure, and DISE-titrating pressure were 8.8, 8.1, and 8.2 cmH
conclusionsDISE could help provide a therapeutic CPAP pressure similar to the conventional titrating pressure in sleep center and APAP titrating pressure at home. RELEVANCE: DISE could be a valuable alternative titrating method, especially in countries where PSG is expensive, time-consuming and difficult to access, and could facilitate earlier and more effective management of patients with OSA.
