The effect of whole-body high-intensity interval training on heart rate variability in insufficiently active adults.

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/
objectiveLow physical activity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause morbidity and mortality. CVD alters heart rate variability (HRV). Interestingly, HRV can improve after exercise training. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of whole-body high-intensity interval training (whole-body HIIT) on HRV in low physical activity adults.
methodsTwenty-one low physical activity young adults were randomly assigned into two groups: whole-body HIIT (n = 10, females = 2/males = 8, age 22 ± 0.8 years, BMI 19.5 ± 1.0 kg/m
resultsThe time domain parameter increased significantly in the whole-body HIIT group (SDNN; 50.95 ± 37.17 vs. 73.40 ± 40.70 ms,
conclusionSix weeks of whole-body HIIT improved cardiovascular autonomic function in insufficiently active adults. Thus, whole-body HIIT might be considered an alternative exercise for reducing the risk of CVD.
