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

Background: Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is the most common type of reflex syncope. Although typically benign in its clinical course, VVS may lead to injury and reduced quality of life. Autonomic nervous system imbalance is considered the core pathophysiological mechanism of VVS. Heart rate variability (HRV), a noninvasive marker of autonomic regulation, may have practical value in identifying VVS and its subtypes; however, its predictive utility has not been fully elucidated. Methods: In this single-center retrospective case-control study, we included 415 patients with syncope symptoms who underwent both 24-hour Holter monitoring and a head-up tilt test (HUTT) between January 2021 and December 2024. Based on HUTT results, patients were classified into a VVS-positive group ( Results: Multivariable logistic regression revealed that 24 h average HRs (OR: 0.935; 95% CI: 0.912-0.959; Conclusion: HRV parameters are associated with the occurrence of VVS. As a noninvasive and continuous physiological biomarker, HRV may aid in the clinical screening, risk stratification, and phenotypic classification of patients with suspected VVS.
