Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia is Mainly Driven by Central Feedforward Mechanisms in Healthy Humans.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Heart rate variability (HRV) has prognostic and diagnostic potential, however, the mechanisms behind respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), a main short-term HRV, are still not well understood. We investigated if the central feedforward mechanism or pulmonary stretch reflex contributed most to RSA in healthy humans. Ventilatory support reduces the centrally mediated respiratory effort but remains the inspiratory stretch of the pulmonary receptors. We aimed to quantify the difference in RSA between spontaneous breathing and ventilatory support. Nineteen healthy, young subjects underwent spontaneous breathing and non-invasive intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIV) while we recorded heart rate (HR, from ECG), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and stroke volume (SV) estimated from the non-invasive finger arterial pressure curve, end-tidal CO
