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

Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis is a noninvasive tool that allows cardiac autonomic control to be assessed. Numerous studies have reported HRV measurements, related changes, and clinical implications for heart failure patients. This review evaluates HRV characteristics in congestive heart failure (CHF), focusing on different recording durations and the diagnostic and prognostic values using HRV measurements. The recording durations are classified as (a) ultra short-term (substantially shorter than 5 minutes), (b) short-term (5 minutes), and (c) long-term (nominal 24 hours). This review of HRV diagnostic and prognostic significance in CHF focuses on time- and frequency-domain HRV measures that have previously been extensively studied. Reported studies document that HRV is lowered in CHF patients, whereas HRV increases may indicate disease improvement,
