The short-term association between exposure to noise and heart rate variability in daily locations and mobility contexts.
Article in Journal of exposure science & environmental epidemiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundPersonal exposure to noise has been shown to be associated with concomitant increases and lagged decreases of short-term heart rate variability (HRV). It is however unknown whether this association differs between contexts defined by visited places or mobility as both exposure sources and expectations may be different between these contexts.
methodBetween July 2014 and June 2015, the RECORD MultiSensor Study collected sound level and heart rate data for 75 participants, aged 34-74 years, in their living environments for 7 days using a personal dosimeter and electrocardiography sensor on the chest. Their whereabouts were collected using a GPS receiver and a mobility survey. Short-term concomitant and lagged associations between sound level and HRV parameters were assessed within types of visited places and transport modes using mixed effects models with a random intercept for participants.
resultsIncreases in sound level were associated with a concomitant increase in all HR/HRV parameters, and delayed decreases in the overall HRV. Interactions between the sound level and the visited place/mobility context were documented. Compared with home, the concomitant association of sound level with HR and rMSSD was doubled within active and private-motorized transport modes, respectively.
conclusionsThe association of sound level with HR/HRV varies between visited places/mobility contexts. Future studies investigating these context-dependent associations in ambulatory settings will need to assess additional acoustical factors relating to the visited environments as well as non-acoustical factors impacting the perception of noise.
