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

Objective: Common examinations for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are polysomnography (PSG) and home sleep apnea testing (HSAT). However, both PSG and HSAT require that sensors be attached to a subject, which may disturb their sleep and affect the results. Hence, in this study, we aimed to verify a wireless radar framework combined with deep learning techniques to screen for the risk of OSA in home-based environments. Methods: This study prospectively collected home-based sleep parameters from 80 participants over 147 nights using both HSAT and a 24-GHz wireless radar framework. The proposed framework, using hybrid models (ie, deep neural decision trees), identified respiratory events by analyzing continuous-wave signals indicative of breathing patterns. Analyses were performed to examine correlations and agreement of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) with results obtained through HSAT and the radar-based respiratory disturbance index based on the time in bed from HSAT (bRDI Results: A strong correlation ( Conclusion: The proposed framework, with its cutoff thresholds, has the potential to be applied in home settings as a surrogate for HSAT, offering acceptable accuracy in screening for OSA without the interference of attached sensors. However, further optimization and verification of the radar-based total sleep time function are necessary for independent application.
