Impact of COVID-19 Vaccination on Heart Rate Variability: A Systematic Review.
Review in Vaccines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Establishing and disseminating evidence-based safety information could potentially facilitate beneficial choices in coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccinations. This systematic review investigated the potential impact of COVID-19 vaccinations on human heart rate variability (HRV) parameters through comprehensive searches of four electronic medical databases. Five observational studies reporting HRV parameters of individuals vaccinated against COVID-19 and published up to 29 July 2022 were included in this review. Among them, four studies reported the square root of the mean squared differences of successive NN intervals (RMSSD) as their outcome, and the remaining study reported an HRV-based stress indicator. These studies reported short-term changes and rapid recovery in HRV parameters within up to 3 days after COVID-19 vaccination. Some studies showed that the impact of COVID-19 vaccinations on RMSSD was greater in women than men, and in the younger group than in the older group. The methodological quality of the included studies was not optimal; the review revealed short-term changes in HRV parameters, particularly RMSSD, following COVID-19 vaccination. However, as the included studies did not report important parameters besides RMSSD, the limitation exists that the postvaccination long-term HRV stability was not reported.
