Impact of COVID-19 on cardiac autonomic function in healthy young adults: potential role of symptomatology and time since diagnosis.
Article in American journal of physiology. Heart and circulatory physiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Emerging evidence suggests that COVID-19 may affect cardiac autonomic function; however, the limited findings in young adults with COVID-19 have been equivocal. Notably, symptomology and time since diagnosis appear to influence vascular health following COVID-19, but this has not been explored in the context of cardiac autonomic regulation. Therefore, we hypothesized that young adults who had persistent symptoms following COVID-19 would have lower heart rate variability (HRV) and cardiac baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) compared with those who had COVID-19 but were asymptomatic at testing and controls who never had COVID-19. Furthermore, we hypothesized that there would be relationships between cardiac autonomic function measures and time since diagnosis. We studied 27 adults who had COVID-19 and were either asymptomatic (ASYM;
