Association of postexercise heart rate recovery with body composition in healthy male adults: Findings from Pakistan.
Article in Annals of noninvasive electrocardiology : the official journal of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Inc, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThis study investigated the effect of body mass index (BMI) and body fat ratio with postexercise heart rate recovery (HRR) after 2 minutes of rest.
methodsSixty-four healthy males aged between 25 and 55 years participated in the study. BMI, body fat ratio, waist circumference, and physical activity were recorded. Peak heart rate after exercise and HRR after 2 min of rest were obtained.
resultsMean age of participants was 35.53 ± 6.57. Mean BMI and HRR were 25.06 ± 4.62 and 26.07 ± 7.43, respectively. BMI and body fat ratio had significant negative correlation with HRR with r values of -.833 and -.877, respectively (p < .001*). Linear regression showed BMI and body fat ratio with significant coefficient of -0.426 (p = .04*) and -0.627 (p < .001*) with HRR, respectively. Participants with BMI ˂ 25 had higher HRR in comparison to participants with BMI ≥ 25 (p < .001*). Participants with body fat ratio of ˂25 had significantly higher HRR of 35.9 ± 3.98 in comparison to participants with body fat ratio ≥ 25 (p = <.001*).
conclusionBody mass index and body fat ratio are strong predictors of HRR in Pakistani healthy male adults, suggesting a strong link between metabolic risk factors and impaired autonomic nervous system.
