The interplay of heart rate variability and ventricular repolarization parameters in the obese state: a review.
Review in Cardiovascular endocrinology & metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The impact of obesity on heart rate variability (HRV) and ventricular repolarization, both vital indicators of cardiovascular health, is the focus of this review. Obesity, measured by BMI, waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio, significantly increases cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk due to structural and autonomic heart changes. Findings show that obese individuals exhibit prolonged QT and Tpeak-to-Tend (Tpe) intervals, suggesting delayed ventricular recovery and greater arrhythmia risk. Additionally, obesity-induced autonomic imbalance favors sympathetic activity over parasympathetic, reducing HRV and raising arrhythmogenic potential. Elevated QT and Tpe intervals reflect extended cardiac recovery phases, which contribute to poor cardiac outcomes. The Tpe interval could serve as an early marker of cardiac dysfunction in obese populations, highlighting the importance of early intervention to reduce CVD risk and enhance treatment strategies for obesity-related cardiovascular changes.
