Positive Airway Pressure Therapies for Heart Failure: What Do the Trials Tell Us?
Review in Cardiac failure review, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) represents a modifiable treatment target in patients with heart failure (HF). Despite the evolution of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy over the past several decades, randomised controlled trials have not demonstrated a consistent benefit in reducing mortality or hospital admissions related to HF. As a result, the use of PAP therapy has been primarily limited to symptom control of SDB. However, recent trials suggest that PAP therapy is safer than previously perceived and underscore an urgent need for a phenotype-based, individualised treatment approach. Stratifying patients according to sleep apnoea phenotypes or characteristic clinical clusters may enhance the identification of individuals most likely to respond favourably to PAP therapy in terms of clinical outcomes. This narrative review provides an outline of the current evidence regarding the use of PAP therapy in patients with SDB across the spectrum of HF phenotypes.
