Review in Current heart failure reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01816776 (A Randomized Trial Evaluating the Safety and Effectiveness of the remedē® System in Patients With Central Sleep Apnea), 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.

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.

Abstract

purpose of reviewCentral sleep apnea occurs in up to 50% of heart failure patients and worsens outcomes. Established therapies are limited by minimal supporting evidence, poor patient adherence, and potentially adverse cardiovascular effects. However, transvenous phrenic nerve stimulation, by contracting the diaphragm, restores normal breathing throughout sleep and has been shown to be safe and effective. This review discusses the mechanisms, screening, diagnosis, and therapeutic approaches to CSA in patients with HF. RECENT

findingsIn a prospective, multicenter randomized Pivotal Trial (NCT01816776) of transvenous phrenic nerve stimulation with the remedē System, significantly more treated patients had a ≥ 50% reduction in apnea-hypopnea index compared with controls, with a 41 percentage point difference between group difference at 6 months (p < 0.0001). All hierarchically tested sleep, quality of life, and daytime sleepiness endpoints were significantly improved in treated patients. Freedom from serious related adverse events at 12 months was 91%. Benefits are sustained to 36 months. Transvenous phrenic nerve stimulation improves quality of life in patients with heart failure and central sleep apnea. Controlled trials evaluating the impact of this therapy on mortality/heart failure hospitalizations and "real world" experience are needed to confirm safety and effectiveness.
