Frequent cyclic variation of heart rate is associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients without ischemia.

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
backgroundCyclic variation of heart rate (CVHR) associated with sleep-disordered breathing reflects cardiac autonomic responses to apneic/hypoxic stress. However, the association of CVHR with cardiac function is unclear.
methodsWe investigated a total of 181 patients who underwent both 24-hour Holter electrocardiography (ECG) and quantitative gated single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial functional imaging, excluding patients with atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, structural heart disease, and implantable devices, from January 2017 to July 2018. The number of CVHR per hour (CVHR index) in sleeping-time Holter ECG was compared with the parameters of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic functions assessed by cardiac SPECT functional imaging, peak filling rate (PFR), first-third mean filling rate (1/3 MFR), and time to peak filling rate (TTPF).
resultsIn all patients, the CVHR index was not associated with any parameters of cardiac functions. However, in a propensity score-matched subgroup of patients without ischemia (N = 39), the CVHR index was negatively correlated with PFR (r = -0.35,
conclusionThese results indicate that the high frequency of CVHR in sleeping time is associated with LV diastolic dysfunction in nonischemic patients, irrespective of LV geometry.
