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

STUDY

objectivesA current gap in oral appliance therapy, relative to continuous positive airway pressure, in the management of obstructive sleep apnea is access to nightly therapy data. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the performance of a novel intraoral, multisensory array embedded within a mandibular advancement device (MAD).

methodsPatients established on MAD therapy for obstructive sleep apnea underwent 2 level 2 diagnostic polysomnography (PSG) studies with the smart MAD (sMAD) in situ, under 0 protrusion (control) and usual mandibular protrusion (treatment) conditions. The studies occurred within 2 weeks of one another, and the sequence of studies was randomly allocated. The agreement between sMAD and PSG was assessed using apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), total sleep time, and sleep position. An additional aim was to assess the ability of the device to detect the change in AHI across the 2 conditions (control vs treatment).

resultsOverall, there was a high level of agreement between sMAD and PSG in the treatment condition with regards to the AHI (

conclusionsThis pilot study demonstrates the feasibility of estimating clinically relevant therapy data with high accuracy from a sensor system within a MAD. The ability to provide clinicians with relevant sleep metrics including AHI, total sleep time, adherence, sleep position, and response to MAD therapy on a nightly basis has the potential to enhance clinical uptake of MAD therapy. Further research is required to validate these results in a larger sample over a longer term. CITATION: Mohammadieh AM, Tong BK, Stewart GM, de Chazal P, Cistulli PA.
