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

The objective was to assess the performance and robustness of a novel strategy for automatic control of heart rate (HR) during cycle ergometry. Control design used a linear plant model and direct shaping of the closed-loop input-sensitivity function to achieve an appropriate response to disturbances attributable to broad-spectrum heart rate variability (HRV). The controller was evaluated in 73 feedback control experiments involving 49 participants. Performance and stability robustness were analysed using a separately identified family of 73 plant models. The controller gave highly accurate and stable HR tracking performance with mean root-mean-square tracking error between 2.5 beats/min (bpm) and 3.1 bpm, and with low average control signal power. Although plant parameters varied over a very wide range, key closed-loop transfer functions remained invariant to plant uncertainty in important frequency bands, while infinite gain margins and large phase margins (> 62
