Efficacy of portable sleep monitoring device in diagnosing central sleep apnea in patients with congestive heart failure.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Central sleep apnea (CSA) is a common and serious comorbidity mainly occurring in patients with heart failure (HF), which tends to be underdiagnosed and has not been widely studied. Overnight polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for diagnosing CSA; however, the time and expense of the procedure limit its applicability. Portable monitoring (PM) devices are convenient and easy to use; however, they have not been widely studied as to their effectiveness in detecting CSA in patients with HF. In the current study, we examined the diagnostic value of PM as a screening tool to identify instances of CSA among patients with HF. Methods: A total of 22 patients under stable heart failure conditions with an ejection fraction of <50% were enrolled. All patients underwent PM and overnight PSG within a narrow time frame. The measurements of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), hypopnea index (HI), central apnea index (CAI), and obstructive apnea index (OAI) obtained from PSG, automatic scoring, and manual scoring of PM were recorded. The results obtained from PSG and those from PM (automatic and manual scoring) were compared to assess the accuracy of PM. Results: Among the patients, CSA in 11 patients was found by PSG. The AHI measurements performed using manual scoring of PM showed a significant correlation with those performed using PSG (r = 0.69; Conclusion: PM devices could be used to identify instances of central sleep apnea among patients with HF. The results from PM were well-correlated with standard PSG results, and manual scoring was preferable to automated scoring.
