HRV-Based Thresholds in Rowing: Validity and Reliability Assessment.
Article in European journal of sport science, 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
The concurrent validity of lactate thresholds (LT1, LT2) and between-day reliability data from the rowing-specific heart rate variability (HRV)-based thresholds (HRVT) were examined. Thus, 21 rowers (19.6 ± 2.8 years; 1.78 ± 0.09 m; 72.8 ± 11.3 kg) performed two rowing ergometer step tests (starting 100-150 W; 40-50 W increment/4 min) one week apart. Thirteen participants completed both sessions and were included in the reliability analysis. Reliability of power at first (HRVT1) and second HRVT (HRVT2) revealed low standard error of measurements (SEM: HRVT1 = 12 W; HRVT2 = 6 W), coefficient of variation (CV: HRVT1 = 11.5%; HRVT2 = 5.9%), and good to excellent intraclass coefficient (ICC: HRVT1 = 0.83; HRVT2 = 0.93). HRVT2 revealed a sufficient level of agreement (LoA = 35 W) and practicable low minimal detectable changes (MDC = 16 W). In contrast, LoA (46 W) and MDC (32 W) were notably higher for HRVT1. Furthermore, concurrent validity data showed good to excellent ICC values (0.90), low SEM (7 W) and sufficient LoA (35 W) between HRVT2 and power at LT2. Despite good ICC values (0.78), the SEM (LT1 = 12 W) and LoA (41 W) data were notably higher during HRVT1 versus power at LT1 comparison. Thus, HRVT might be a promising, valid, and reliable option to estimate LT in rowing, with HRVT2 having particularly favorable properties as a surrogate for LT2.
