Impact of heart rate variability-based exercise prescription: self-guided by technology and trainer-guided exercise in sedentary adults.
Article in Frontiers in sports and active living, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: Exercising at home is an accessible alternative to the gym, although it presents challenges such as low adherence, poor quality and difficulties in reaching set goals. Wearable technologies and the use of heart rate variability (HRV) make it possible to personalise workouts, optimise fitness and improve adherence. However, specific exercise recommendations based on these metrics are still lacking. This study evaluated the impact of HRV-based training using the Selftraining UMH app in an autonomous format versus a Personal Trainer-led approach. Methods: Seventy sedentary adults were divided into three groups: Autonomous ( Results: Both intervention groups completed similar session numbers (23.3 vs. 24.5) and high-intensity workouts (13.7 vs. 14.6). Both groups improved significantly ( Conclusions: The findings demonstrate that HRV-based training effectively enhances fitness in sedentary adults, with both delivery methods showing similar adherence and benefits. The Selftraining UMH app offers an accessible alternative for autonomous exercise, particularly in settings without professional supervision, promoting improved population health outcomes.
