Heart rate variability in anaesthesiology - narrative review.
Review in Anaesthesiology intensive therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07443072 (Heart Rate Variability and Processed EEG Features as Predictors of Postoperative Outcomes After Cranial Neurosurgery - A Prospective Observational Study in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 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.

Abstract
Heart rate variability (HRV) is a measure that shows the variation in time between consecutive heartbeats - a physiological phenomenon controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Over the years the analysis of this parameter has been used in many fields of medicine, including anaesthesiology, for scientific and research purposes. We carried out a review of the available literature on the applicability of HRV assessment in anaesthesiology. Several potential applications of HRV in clinical anaesthesia have been identified and proven feasible. As a non-invasive and relatively easy method to gauge the autonomic nervous system, HRV analysis can provide the anaesthesiologist with additional datapoints, potentially useful in assessing efficacy of a blockade and adequacy of analgesia, and in predicting adverse events. However, interpretation of HRV and generalizability of research findings can be problematic due to the multiplicity of factors that influence this parameter and bias in methods introduced by the researchers.
