Effect of sympathetic autonomic stress from the cold pressor test on left ventricular function in young healthy adults.
Article in Physiological reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
There is a dearth of studies investigating the effect of sympathetic activation on left ventricular function. This study aimed to investigate the effect of sympathetic autonomic stress on left ventricular function in young healthy adults. Fifty-six normotensive healthy participants (age 23.55 ± 3.82 years) took part in the study after giving informed consent. After obtaining baseline measurements, heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), peripheral saturation of oxygen (SpO2) and left ventricular function (assessed by means of ejection fraction (EF) obtained by transthoracic 2-D echocardiography) were determined before and following sympathetic activation using cold pressor test (CPT). Exposure to CPT led to significant increase (P < 0.0001) in HR (70.4 ± 10.7 bpm to 91.6 ± 14.8 bpm), SBP (118 ± 8 mmHg to 138 ± 14 mmHg) and DBP (71 ± 7 mmHg to 91 ± 11 mmHg). Participants' EDV (101.1 ± 15.8 ml to 104.2 ± 19.3 mL), ESV (38.7 ± 9.1 mL to 40.3 ± 11.6 mL), SpO2 (99.5 ± 0.79% to 99.5 ± 0.77%) and EF (61.9 ± 5.9% to 60.9 ± 6.4%) were only slightly changed (P > 0.05). However, cardiac output (4.3 ± 0.9 L/min to 5.4 ± 1.4 L/min) and cardiac index (3.7 ± 0.8 L/min per m
