Quantifying Mental Stress Using Cardiovascular Responses: A Scoping Review.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
(1) Background: Physiological responses, such as heart rate and heart rate variability, have been increasingly utilized to monitor, detect, and predict mental stress. This review summarizes and synthesizes previous studies which analyzed the impact of mental stress on heart activity as well as mathematical, statistical, and visualization methods employed in such analyses. (2) Methods: A total of 119 articles were reviewed following the Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. Non-English documents, studies not related to mental stress, and publications on machine learning techniques were excluded. Only peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings were considered. (3) Results: The studies revealed that heart activities and behaviors changed during stressful events. The majority of the studies utilized descriptive statistical tests, including
