This kind of looks a little hokie. I have read so many studies on the treatment of sleep apnea and it seems like many often show positive results. I have not heard of that journal before. But often times, the studies are too small to show anything significant. Or there is a selection bias where only the studies that show positive results gets published. And of course- anytime there is money to make in something, you have to question where the funding for the study comes from. When two drugs are compared head to head in a study- I can almost always tell which pharma company has paid for the study by the way the data gets twisted in the discussion section.
