Non-invasive electrocardiographic assessments of cardiac autonomic modulation in individuals with spinal cord injury.
Review in Spinal cord, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
STUDY
designReview.
objectivesThe purpose of this review is to discuss the utility of linear and non-linear heart rate variability (HRV) as well as the QT-variability index (QTVI) as indices of cardiac autonomic control in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).

methodsLiterature review.
conclusionNon-invasive markers determined from the electrocardiogram, such as linear and non-linear HRV, and, more recently, the QTVI have all shown some promise as indices of cardiac autonomic regulation in the SCI population. However, there are inconsistencies in the literature that call to question their true validity in this regard. Studies using pharmacological blockade, sympathetic manoeuvres and exercise suggest that both linear and non-linear HRV reflect cardiac parasympathetic activity, whereas their ability to quantify cardiac sympathetic outflow remains uncertain. The QTVI, although a novel method, correlates with both limbs of the autonomic nervous system and therefore may hold value as a measure of both cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic activity in individuals with SCI; however, more research is required to confirm its utility.
