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 and objectives: This study examines resilience's role in modulating autonomic nervous system (ANS) responses to repeated psychosocial stress, assessed via heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate (HR) changes. Design and methods: Sixty healthy males completed the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) across four sessions, each with six stress phases, to evaluate acute stress response and physiological habituation. Resilience, measured by the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), was analyzed in relation to HR, HRV indices. Results: Resilient individuals exhibited better physiological recovery after acute stressor, with increased RMSSD and SDNN post-stress and reduced HR, peak HR, and delta HR for repeated stressor. While HR parameters habituated to repeated stress, anticipatory anxiety (pre-TSST STAI) increased, highlighting a distinction between physiological adaptation and psychological stress anticipation. Despite RMSSD, SDNN and LF recovery after acute stressor, resilience did not significantly impact high-frequency (HF) power. Conclusion: Resilience appears to enhance physiological recovery after acute stressor and adaptive physiological regulation under repeated stress, supporting its role as a protective factor. These findings have implications for interventions aimed at strengthening stress resilience and reducing allostatic load.
