Disconnection Between Self-Reported Wellbeing and Heart Rate Variability from Wearables.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
STUDY
objectiveTo assess the association between daily self-reported emotional and mental readiness and their association with overnight resting heart rate variability.
methodsParticipants included 21 males (32 ± 7 years) and 18 females (28 ± 4 years). Activity tracker data were collected for three months, measuring heart rate variability, resting heart rate, sleep time, sleep efficiency, bed/wake times, steps counted, and daily self-reported caffeine use, alcohol use, hydration, feelings on stress, illness, motivation, energy, nervousness, emotional stability, and recovery.
resultsSelf-reported stress and nervousness did not have an association with heart rate variability (Stressed HRV 63.5 ± 0.6 vs. Not Stressed HRV 63.1 ± 0.5 ms,
conclusionsSubjective feelings of readiness may not correspond to activity tracker biometrics and should be taken into consideration when calculating readiness scores and providing personalized recommendations based on HRV. Caution should be taken when using HRV-based recommendations to guide a user's health and wellness journey.
