Assessing Dynamic Atrioventricular Conduction Time to RR-interval Coupling in Athletes and Sedentary Subjects.
Article in Arquivos brasileiros de cardiologia, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background Atrioventricular conduction time ( AVCT ) is influenced by autonomic input and subject to physiological remodeling. Objective To evaluate beat-by-beat AVCT and RR-interval variability in athletes and healthy sedentary subjects. Methods Twenty adults, including 10 healthy sedentary (Controls) and 10 elite long-distance runners (Athletes), age, weight and height-adjusted, underwent maximal metabolic equivalent (MET) assessment, and 15-min supine resting ECG recording seven days later. The interval between P-wave and R-wave peaks defined the AVCT . Mean (M) and standard deviation (SD) of consecutive RR-intervals (RR) and coupled AVCT were calculated, as well as regression lines of RR vs. AVCT (RR-AVCT) . Concordant AV conduction was defined as positive RR-AVCT slope and discordant otherwise. A multivariate linear regression model was developed to explain MET based on AVCT and RR-interval variability parameters. Significance-level: 5 %. Results In Athletes, M-RR and SD-RR values were higher than in Controls, whereas M-AVCT and SD-AVCT were not. RR-AVCT slopes were, respectively, 0.038 ± 0.022 and 0.0034 ± 0.017 (p < 0.05). Using a cut-off value of 0.0044 (AUC 0.92 ± 0.07; p < 0.001), RR-AVCT slope showed 100% specificity and 80% sensitivity. In a multivariate model, SD-RR and RR-AVCT slope were independent explanatory variables of MET (F-ratio: 17.2; p < 0.001), showing 100% specificity and 90% sensitivity (AUC 0.99 ± 0.02; p < 0.001). Conclusion In elite runners, AVCT to RR -interval dynamic coupling shows spontaneous discordant AV conduction, characterized by negative AVCT vs. RR -interval regression line slope. RR -intervals standard deviation and AVCT vs. RR -interval regression line slope are independent explanatory variables of MET (Arq Bras Cardiol. 2020; [online].ahead print, PP.0-0).
