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

backgroundRecent evidence has shown that adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) is contraindicated in patients with predominant central sleep apnea (CSA) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤45%). The objective of this study was to assess the clinical usage of ASV in patients at the time-point of the release of a safety warning by type of SDB, breathing pattern and LVEF.

methodsPatients of a cardiac and a respirology sleep center, both in Germany, who received ASV therapy were contacted between May and October 2015. Retrospective analyses included diagnostic polysomnography, polysomnography with continuous positive airway pressure prior to ASV initiation and echocardiography. Treatment emergent CSA was diagnosed after an appropriate treatment period on CPAP.

results285 patients receiving ASV therapy (91 in the cardiac and 194 in the respirology setting) underwent diagnostic polysomnography. 233 (82%) patients had severe SDB, 94 (33%) predominant CSA, and 185 (65%) periodic breathing. 20% (n = 52) of patients had an LVEF of ≤45%. The most common indications for ASV were CSA in heart failure (41%) in the cardiac setting and treatment emergent CSA (80%) diagnosed after an appropriate period on CPAP in the respirology setting. The proportion of patients in whom ASV was contraindicated (CSA and LVEF ≤45%) was 16% in the cardiac setting and 9% in the respirology setting.

conclusionClinical usage of ASV changed for a small subgroup of patients after release of the SERVE-HF results. Nevertheless, ASV treatment should be monitored and evaluated with diligence in the reminder indications.
