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

objectiveAlmost 10% of Veterans have experienced homelessness, which is associated with complex healthcare needs and high levels of physical and mental health comorbidities. Measures of autonomic nervous system dysregulation, including higher resting heart rate (HR) and lower time domain and higher frequency domain measures of heart rate variability (HRV), are associated with worse physical and mental health in Veteran and civilian populations. However, these associations have not been explored in unstably housed Veterans with mental health conditions.

method43 male Veterans who were homeless/at-risk and receiving residential mental health treatment completed measures of HRV, neuropsychological performance, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and functioning. Time-domain and frequency-domain measures of HRV were calculated. Correlations between neuropsychological performance, symptoms, and HRV measures were computed. Multiple regression was used to examine predictors of variance in HRV variables.

resultsHigher HR and worse HRV metrics were significantly (

conclusionsHRV in Veterans may serve as a noninvasive biomarker correlate of healthcare needs in unstably housed Veterans.
