Heart Rate Variability and Gastric Electrical Response to a Cold Pressor Task in Youth with Functional Dyspepsia.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
BACKGROUND/
aimsWhile stress has been implicated in functional dyspepsia (FD), the mechanisms by which stress results in symptoms are not well defined. The aim of the current study was to assess gastric myoelectric and autonomic changes in response to a physical stressor in youth with FD.
methodsIn a group of healthy controls and pediatric FD subjects, we recorded ECG and EGG signals 30 min before and 60 min after, a cold pressor task (CPT). Gastric EGG and heart rate variability (HRV) parameters were calculated in pre- and post-CPT stages and in short intervals.
resultsThe pre-CPT percent tachygastria was higher in FD subjects as compared to controls. However, CPT did not induce any EGG changes in either controls or FD subjects and the two groups did not differ from each other post-CPT. The CPT resulted in an increase in HRV and standard deviation of NN intervals in controls; there was no change in any HRV parameter in FD subjects.
conclusionsAcute physical stress does not appear to induce gastric electrical abnormalities in youth with FD. Youth with FD appear to lack the normal flexible autonomic response to a physical stressor.
