The Pulse of Singapore: Short-Term HRV Norms.
Article in Applied psychophysiology and biofeedback, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Short-term heart rate variability (HRV) is increasingly used to assess autonomic nervous system activity and found to be useful for monitoring and providing care due to its quick measurement. With evidence of low HRV associated with chronic diseases, mental disorders, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, having normative data of HRV across the age spectrum would be useful for monitoring health and well-being of a population. This study examines HRV of healthy Singapore sample, with ages ranging from 10 to 89 years. Short-term HRV of five minutes was measured from 2,143 participants. 974 males and 1,169 females, and overall HRV was found to be 42.4ms (RMSSD) and 52.0 ms (SDNN) with a further breakdown of HRV by age and gender. Overall HRV declined with age and gender, although gender differences dissipated in the 60s age range onwards, with the 50s age range having the sharpest decline in HRV. Short-term HRV norms were similar to Nunan et al.'s (2010) systematic review in various populations and less similar to Choi et al.'s (2020) study on Koreans.
