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

backgroundA significant proportion of cancer patients experience autonomic dysfunction, and cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy can exacerbate impairments in the cardiac autonomic nervous system. This study sought to investigate the characteristics of heart rate variability (HRV) in individuals with cancer.

aimTo evaluate the relationship between HRV and cancer patients, providing insights and references for cancer treatment.

methodsThe study included 127 cancer patients with available 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram data. HRV differences were analyzed using both time domain and frequency domain methods. These findings were then compared to HRV data from reference individuals, sourced from literature that utilized the same HRV computing algorithm.

resultsOur findings revealed that cancer patients generally exhibited abnormal HRV compared to the reference group. HRV was found to be correlated with age and clinical type (

conclusionThis study indicates that cancer patients have significantly abnormal HRV compared to reference individuals, suggesting the presence of a certain level of cardiac autonomic dysfunction in this patient population.
