Effects of fine particulate on heart rate variability in Beijing: a panel study of healthy elderly subjects.

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
purposeThis study aims to investigate the effects of ambient fine particulate (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less, PM(2.5)) exposure within several minutes on Heart Rate Variability (HRV) of the healthy elderly subjects in the general environments (indoor and outdoor).
methodsThis study is conducted by measuring the real-time indoor and outdoor exposure variables (PM(2.5), Temperature, and relative humidity) and heart rate variability (HRV), a marker of cardiac autonomic function measured by 24-h ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring in a panel of 30 healthy elderly subjects in Beijing. Associations between personal 5-min PM(2.5) concentrations and concurrent 5-min HRV frequency indices are investigated using the mixed linear model.
resultsHigh Frequency (HF) and Low Frequency (LF) increase, respectively by 1.30% (95% CI, 0.16-2.45%) and 1.34% (95% CI, 0.38-2.30%) per 10 μg/m(3) increases of PM(2.5) in the polled data analysis after the potential confounders are adjusted. When the indoor and outdoor periods are separated, positive associations are found between PM(2.5) and HRV when the subjects are indoors; however, there is no association when the subjects are outdoors.
conclusionsWe conclude that PM(2.5) exposure within several minutes leads to increases of HRV of the healthy older subjects, which may increase the cardiac risks. Prominent effect of PM(2.5) on HRV is found when they are indoors, while the effect is not obvious in outdoor environment.
