Trial report in Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01234077 (A Single Blind Randomized Study Comparing In-laboratory Polysomnography Electrocardiogram to Simultaneously Recorded In-laboratory Electrocardiogram on the CPC M1 Device and Compared to Home Recorded Electrocardiogram With the CPC M1 Device.), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

STUDY

objectiveThe goal was to determine the utility and accuracy of automated analysis of single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) data using two algorithms, cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC), and cyclic variation of heart rate (CVHR) to identify sleep apnea (SA).

methodsThe CPC-CVHR algorithms were applied to identify SA by analyzing ECG from diagnostic polysomnography (PSG) from 47 subjects. The studies were rescored according to updated AASM scoring rules, both manually by a certified technologist and using an FDA-approved automated scoring software, Somnolyzer (Philips Inc., Monroeville, PA). The CPC+CVHR output of Sleep Quality Index (SQI), Sleep Apnea Indicator (SAI), elevated low frequency coupling broadband (eLFC

resultsA high degree of agreement was noted between the CPC-CVHR against both the manually rescored AHI and the computerized scored AHI to identify patients with moderate and severe sleep apnea (AHI > 15). The combined CPC+CVHR algorithms, when compared to the manually scored PSG output presents sensitivity 89%, specificity 79%, agreement 85%, PPV (positive predictive value) 0.86 and NPV (negative predictive value) 0.83, and substantial Kappa 0.70. Comparing the output of the automated scoring software to the manual scoring demonstrated sensitivity 93%, specificity 79%, agreement 87%, PPV 0.87, NPV 0.88, and substantial Kappa 0.74.

conclusionThe CPC+CVHR technology performed as accurately as the automated scoring software to identify patients with moderate to severe SA, demonstrating a clinically powerful tool that can be implemented in various clinical settings to identify patients at risk for SA.
