Association of Inflammatory and Cardiovascular Proteomics Biomarkers With Indices of Heart Rate Variability in the General Population: KORA S4/FF4 Study.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundWe sought to investigate the association between circulating inflammatory and cardiovascular proteomics biomarkers and cardiac autonomic nervous dysfunction-sensitive heart rate variability indices.
methodsUsing the population-based KORA (Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg) cohort, 233 proteomics biomarkers were quantified in baseline plasma samples of 1389 individuals using proximity extension assay technology. Five heart rate variability indices (Rényi entropy of the histogram with order [α] 4, total power of the density spectra, SD of word sequence, SD of the short-term normal-to-normal interval variability, compression entropy) were assessed at baseline in 982 individuals and in 407 individuals at baseline and at 14-year follow-up. Three unbiased multivariable selection models followed by linear or linear mixed-effects models with multiple testing correction were used to determine the association between proteomics biomarkers and heart rate variability indices.
resultsC-C motif chemokine 23 was positively associated, while peptidoglycan recognition protein nd fibroblast growth factor 21 were negatively associated with Rényi entropy of the histogram with order (α) 4 cross-sectionally. Tumor necrosis factor-related activation-induced cytokine and growth/differentiation factor 15 were negatively associated with compression entropy cross-sectionally. Over time, interleukin-6 receptor subunit α and macrophage colony-stimulating factor were positively and negatively associated with total power of the density spectra, respectively. Additionally, myoglobin and agouti-related protein were positively and negatively associated with SD of the short-term normal-to-normal interval variability, respectively. Gastrotropin and agouti-related protein were positively and negatively associated with compression entropy, respectively.
conclusionsThis study identified novel circulating proteins associated with heart rate variability indices. These proteins could improve our understanding of the pathophysiology underlying cardiac autonomic nervous dysfunction.
