Central Sleep Apnea in Adults: Diagnosis and Treatment.
Article in Federal practitioner : for the health care professionals of the VA, DoD, and PHS, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: While the literature has demonstrated a higher prevalence of moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the general population compared with central sleep apnea (CSA), more evidence is needed on the long-term clinical impact of and optimal treatment strategies for CSA. Observations: CSA is overrepresented among certain clinical populations, such as those with heart failure, stroke, neuromuscular disorders, and opioid use. The clinical concerns with CSA parallel those of OSA. The absence of respiration (apneas and hypopneas due to lack of effort) results in sympathetic surge, compromise of oxygenation and ventilation, sleep fragmentation, and elevation in blood pressure. Symptoms such as excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, witnessed apneas, and nocturnal arrhythmias are shared between the 2 disorders. A systematic clinical approach should be used to identify and treat CSA. Conclusions: The purpose of this review is to familiarize the primary care community with CSA to aid in the identification and management of this breathing disturbance.
