Adaptive servo-ventilation for the treatment of intrathecal baclofen-induced central sleep apnea: A case report.

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
Baclofen is a common muscle relaxant agent used in a number of neurological disorders acting at central level and potentially causing adverse respiratory events, still largely unknown at therapeutic doses. We present the case of a young woman with spastic tetraparesis secondary to perinatal asphyxia treated with a standard dose of intrathecal baclofen who developed nocturnal symptoms, somnolence and memory loss during the day. Nocturnal cardio-respiratory sleep monitoring showed a high number of central sleep apneas (CSA). The patient was adapted and treated with a positive air pressure device, Adaptative Servo-Ventilator, specific designed to treat CSA particularly in patients with heart failure. The treatment was well tolerated and within few days CSA was reversed. The patient reported a feeling of restful sleep and disappearance of morning tiredness. The efficacy of the treatment was verified with nocturnal cardio-respiratory monitoring after 2 months and complete resolution of all symptoms was also confirmed.
