Evaluation of sleep position shifts in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome with the use of a mandibular advancement device.
Article in Frontiers in dental medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate position shifts during sleep of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome both with and without the use of a mandibular advancement device (MAD). Methods: In total, 73 adult Caucasian patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome confirmed by polysomnography were retrospectively enrolled. Inclusion criteria were as follows: age >20 years, body mass index <34 kg/m Results and conclusions: All the parameters, including respiratory and positional measures, were significantly reduced after the use of a MAD compared to the beginning. Spearman's correlation test revealed a relationship between the total number of sleep position shifts and the sleep position shift index with the oxygen desaturation index. However, no significant correlation was observed between the apnea-hypopnea index and the positional values.
