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.

2 · The registry

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

Central sleep apnea (CSA) is an important diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, which presents in a heterogeneous group of pathologies and comorbidities. Sometimes no cause is found to justify the presence of CSA, and it is classified as idiopathic. In this context, the performance of more specific complementary tests may reveal the presence of less frequent pathologies. We present a case of severe CSA in which brain MRI showed the presence of agenesis of the corpus callosum and dilatation of the third ventricle and lateral ventricles, without other associated malformations. It required treatment with adaptive servoventilation for its resolution. This association has only been described on one other occasion, so we believe that our case may contribute to focus attention on this infrequent cause of CSA.
