1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo evaluate whether the type of facial pattern obtained from standardized photographs influences the success of treatment with Oral Appliance (OA) in a group of patients with Obstructive Sleep Disorders (OSD), and to verify the agreement between three examiners regarding the classification of the type of facial pattern.

methodsFifty patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) underwent systematic evaluation of the face using standardized photographs to characterize the type of facial pattern. The patients were examined, blindly and consecutively, by three dental surgeons.

resultsThere was strong agreement between the examiners about the type of facial pattern (κ = 0.899). OA success rates were similar between patients with facial pattern I and II.

conclusionThe type of facial pattern, I and II, did not influence the success of OA. Both facial patterns can benefit from this, and the test was reproducible with strong inter-rater agreement. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: Level 2.
