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

Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) is a potentially dangerous abnormal breathing pattern that can be associated with serious cardiac events and poor prognosis. This case describes the unexpected recording of CSR events by a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) apparatus in a patient who was consistently CPAP compliant and had a stable medical history except for recent nasal obstruction. Respiratory polygraphy (RP) suggested the CPAP device had erroneously recorded obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as CSR due to mixed apnea features that mimicked CSR. Treatment of the nasal obstruction resolved the problem with the erroneous readings, suggesting the nasal obstruction was the cause of the aberrant CPAP recording. This case highlights the limits of CPAP device reliability for detection of CSR and the need for standardized CSR detection criteria across CPAP devices.
