Partial reduction of parasympathetic nerve activity during sleep after endurance exercise under hypoxic conditions.

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
purposeThe present study compared changes in sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous activities during sleep following endurance exercise under either normoxic or hypoxic condition.
methodsTen young men (20.5 ± 0.2 years) were recruited for the study. All of them carried out three trials on different days: [1] pedaling exercise in hypoxia (FiO2: 14.5%; HYP), [2] pedaling exercise in normoxia (FiO2: 20.9%; NOR), and [3] rest in normoxia (REST). Each trial was separated at least one week, with randomized orders. The exercise in HYP and NOR trials consisted of 60 min of pedaling exercise at 60% of maximal oxygen uptake. During exercise, heart rate (HR), rating of perceived exertion and arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) were determined. Also, HRV was continuously monitored until next morning (17:00-8:00) to evaluate frequency domain HRV parameters and time domain HRV parameters. On the following morning, the scores of fatigues, sleepiness, vitality, and quality of sleep were measured by visual analog scale.
resultsDuring sleep, majority of frequency domain HRV parameters (LF, HF, LF/HF, Total Power) or time domain HRV parameters (SDNN, RMSSD, NN50) did not differ significantly among three trials, although the average of pNN50 was significantly lower in NOR and HYP trials.
conclusionEvening endurance exercise under hypoxic conditions did not exacerbate autonomic nerve activity during sleep compared to the same endurance exercise under normoxic conditions. However, despite different inspiratory oxygen levels during exercise (FiO2: 20.9% or 14.5%), evening endurance exercise may partially suppress parasympathetic nerve activity during sleep. These findings would apply to people who are involved in endurance exercise under hypoxic conditions.
