Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide Treatment Affects Heart Rate Variability - A Pilot Study.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of carbon-dioxide treatment on heart rate variability (HRV) parameters: mean RR interval (RRI), standard deviation of RR intervals (SDNN), root mean square of successive RR differences (RMSSD); and Porta and Guzik indices, as measures of heart rate asymmetry. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty patients were enrolled (mean±SD, age=59±7.8 years). Measurements were performed before CO
resultsSignificant increase in SDNN was found 1 h after the treatment when compared to that before it (p=0.011). There were no significant changes in other parameters.
