Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Accurately predicting optimal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) using traditional PSG parameters remains challenging. Respiratory endotypes derived from PSG can reflect the pathophysiological mechanisms of diseases to a certain extent and are expected to provide a novel perspective for individualized pressure prediction. 114 Chinese adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) underwent two overnight in-laboratory PSG recordings. Optimal CPAP pressure was defined by standardized manual titration performed on the second night. The analysis incorporated three sets of variables: respiratory endotypes, anthropometric indicators, and PSG respiratory parameters. After initial correlation screening, significant variables were entered into a stepwise multiple linear regression model. The dataset was randomly split into training (80%) and validation (20%) sets to assess predictive performance. A total of 114 participants (15 mild, 38 moderate, 61 severe OSA) were included. The prediction model included loop gain (LG1), ventilation capacity (Vpassive, Vmin), BMI, apnea index (AI), mean respiratory event-related oxygen desaturation (RE-OD-Mean), longest apnea duration (Ap-Dur-Long), and respiratory-related arousal index (RR-ArI): CPAP = 0.708 + 1.804×LG1 + 0.023×Vpassive - 0.015×Vmin + 0.117×BMI + 0.003×AI - 0.074×RE-OD-Mean + 0.019×Ap-Dur-Long + 0.043×RR-ArI. The final model demonstrated acceptable predictive performance in the internal validation set (R² = 0.497; RMSE = 1.507 cmH₂O). Among the retained predictors, LG1 showed the largest effect size, with each 1-unit increase associated with an approximately 1.8 cmH₂O higher predicted CPAP pressure. Integrating respiratory endotypes with anthropometric indicators and PSG respiratory parameters provides a mechanism-based framework for CPAP pressure prediction. Collapsibility traits (Vpassive, Vmin) and ventilatory control stability (LG1) substantially enhance predictive accuracy, offering a more individualized approach to PAP therapy.
