Autonomic Balance Differences Through Heart Rate Variability Between Adults with and Without Chronic Low Back Pain.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. 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
backgroundChronic pain has been reported as one of the leading causes of disability in the world, being associated with a potential impact on autonomic balance.
objectiveThe aim was to compare sympathetic and parasympathetic activity through heart rate variability (HRV) between adults with and without chronic low back pain (CLBP).
methodsAn observational study was conducted in which HRV parameters were recorded using time-domain measures-root mean square of successive differences between consecutive RR intervals (rMSSD), minimum and maximum heart rate variability (Min HR and Max HR), and mean heart rate (Mean HR)-and nonlinear measures-Poincaré plot indices SD1 and SD2, Stress Score (SS), and sympathetic/parasympathetic ratio (S:PS).
resultsThe results showed statistically significant differences between groups (
conclusionsThese findings show the association between autonomic balance mechanisms and pain regulation in adults with CLBP.
