Adherence to continuous positive airway pressure therapy in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: effect of visual education.
Trial report in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundContinuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is the most effective treatment in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) although it is known that adherence to therapy is limited. The aims of this study were to evaluate the effect of visual education on CPAP adherence and to identify the factors affecting adherence.
methodsOut of 133 consecutive newly diagnosed moderate-to-severe OSAS patients, 66 were informed about OSAS and CPAP therapy and received visual education by videotape (video group), whereas only information was given to 67 of them (control group). The patients were followed up in the 1st, 3rd, and 6th months.
resultsAfter 6-month follow-up, adherence rate to CPAP therapy was 71.2% in the video group and 56.7% in the control group (p = 0.08). OSAS symptoms, such as witnessed apnea, morning headache, night sweating, dry mouth, and Epworth sleepiness score (ESS), were ameliorated more significantly in the video group (p < 0.05). In order to assess predictors of adherence, 85 patients using CPAP effectively were compared to 48 nonadherent patients; significant improvement in OSAS symptoms and ESS was observed in the adherent patients (p < 0.05). ESS was negatively correlated with the duration of CPAP use (r = -0.524, p < 0.0001). Adverse effects such as mask intolerance, choking, noise, and nasal congestion were related to poorer adherence (p < 0.01).
conclusionsIt is shown that adherence rate to CPAP therapy might be improved by visual education although the difference was not significant. Besides, patients with better adherence to CPAP treatment report the greatest improvement in OSAS symptoms and daytime sleepiness, and adverse effects are significantly related to poorer adherence.
