1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThis study aims to evaluate the effect of exercise training on heart rate variability (HRV) and to determine the correlation between parameters of HRV and the ejection fraction in patients with heart failure after percutaneous coronary intervention. MATERIAL AND

methodsFifty patients with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 40% undergone percutaneous coronary intervention were randomly allocated in either an exercise training (ET) group or a control group. The ET group performed exercise training for 45 minutes, three times a week for seven weeks. Patients in both groups received a leaflet for daily exercising at home. HRV parameters comprising, the standard deviation of normal R-R intervals (SDNN), the square root of the mean of the squares of successive R-R intervals differences (RMSSD) ,the percentage of successive R-R intervals differing from more than 50 ms (PNN50), using 24-hour Holter electrocardiographic monitoring was measured.

resultsAfter the intervention, the SDNN improved in the ET group (P=0.002), while changes in all remaining HRV indices were insignificant (P≥0.05). The control group showed no significant changes in any HRV parameters (P≥0.05). Changes in SDNN in the ET group were significantly different from the control group (P=0.003). At baseline, our results revealed a significant weak correlation between ejection fraction and SDNN (r =0.279, P=0.047). However, ejection fraction did not correlate significantly with RMSSD and PNN50.

conclusionExercise training is safe and feasible in post percutaneous coronary intervention patients, even in those with reduced ejection fraction. In a seven-week period, exercise training was effective in improving HRV in heart failure patients after percutaneous coronary intervention.
