1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 purpose of this study was to monitor heart rate variability (HRV) parameters after myocardial infarction (MI), addressing the ongoing controversy regarding their prognostic value. HRV was measured via Holter monitoring during the acute phase around the time of discharge and again two weeks later during recovery. Our findings show that HRV parameters remained stable during the initial weeks post-MI, indicating that the timing of Holter monitoring in this period is not critical. Several HRV parameters were significantly correlated with MI type, Killip class, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), with reduced HRV observed in STEMI patients and those with decompensated heart failure. However, after adjusting for GRACE score and LVEF, the prognostic value of most HRV measures for predicting future cardiac events diminished. Notably, detrended fluctuation analysis DFA1 α
