Reliability and accuracy of heart rate variability metrics versus ECG segment duration.
Article in Medical & biological engineering & computing, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 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
Despite the exponential growth in heart rate variability (HRV) research, the reproducibility and reliability of HRV metrics continues to be debated. We estimated the reliability of 11 metrics calculated from 5 min records. We also compared the accuracy of the HRV metrics calculated from ECG records spanning 10 s to 10 min as compared with the metrics calculated from 5 min records. The mean heart rate was more reproducible and could be more accurately estimated from very short segments (<1 min) than any of the other HRV metrics. HRV metrics that effectively highpass filter the R-R interval series were more reliable than the other metrics and could be more accurately estimated from very short segments. This indicates that most of the HRV is caused by drift and nonstationary effects. Metrics that are sensitive to low frequency components of HRV have poor repeatability and cannot be estimated accurately from short segments (<10 min).
