Home sleep apnea testing with peripheral arterial tonometry to assess outcome in upper airway stimulation.

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
STUDY
objectivesTo determine whether home sleep apnea testing with peripheral arterial tonometry (HSAT-PAT) can be used in upper airway stimulation to evaluate therapy success.
methodsData analysis from 50 consecutive patients receiving upper airway stimulation was performed. Baseline values were measured by polysomnography and HSAT-PAT. Follow-up was performed during and after titration (3-6 months) by polysomnography and HSAT-PAT and after 1 year by HSAT-PAT only. Primary outcome measures were reduction in the apnea-hypopnea index and oxygen desaturation index. In addition, an analysis of night-to-night variability for HSAT-PAT was performed.
resultsAll 50 patients completed their posttitration visit (3-6 months) and 41 patients completed the 1-year follow-up. In HSAT-PAT after 1 year, the mean apnea-hypopnea index (desaturation 3%) was reduced from 29.5 ± 17.1 events/h to 19.9 ± 13.1 events/h (
conclusionsUpper airway stimulation was able to reduce the apnea-hypopnea index and oxygen desaturation index after 1 year, as assessed by full-night efficacy studies with HSAT-PAT. In addition, improvements in self-reported outcome parameters were observed. The importance of publishing the scoring criteria is highlighted and whether data are based on full-night efficacy studies or a selected period of time from a sleep study. This is a prerequisite for comparing data with other trials in the emerging field of upper airway stimulation. CITATION: Hinder D, Schams SC, Knaus C, Tschopp K.
