fMRI Acoustic Noise Enhances Parasympathetic Activity in Humans.
Article in Brain sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundFunctional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is one of the most important neuroimaging techniques; nevertheless, the acoustic noise of the MR scanner is unavoidably linked to the process of data acquisition. We hypothesized that the auditory noise of the scanner has an effect on autonomic activity.
methodsWe measured heart rate variability (HRV) while exposing 30 healthy subjects to fMRI noise. In doing so, we demonstrated an increase in parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) activity compared to silence and white noise and a decrease in sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity compared to white noise.
conclusionsThe influence of MR scanner noise on the autonomic nervous system should be taken into account when performing fMRI experiments.
