Changes in breath cycle sensing affect outcomes in upper airway stimulation in sleep apnea.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundUpper Airway Stimulation (UAS) is a well-established therapy option for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
aimsThere are no data on whether respiratory sensing contributes to successful UAS therapy. MATERIALS &
methodsAfter initial measurements of 3 implanted patients (M1), the sensing signal was inverted (M2) without changing other parameters. Two weeks later, the signal was converted back again, and the sensitivity of breathing cycle detection was turned to a very low state (M3).
resultsAt M2 and M3, the apnea-hypopnea index and oxygen desaturation index increased. DISCUSSION: Correct respiratory sensing is important for controlling OSA using UAS.
conclusionsTherefore, implant centers should should optimize respiratory sensing placement and adjustment.
