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

purposeTo examine whether the interaction between exercise intensity and sleep duration/quality is associated with heart rate variability (HRV).

methodsA sample of 391 adults (M

resultsInadequate VPA was associated with lower HRV, HF-HRV (B = - 0.25, SE = 0.09, p = 0.007), and RMSSD (B = - 0.15, SE = 0.05, p = 0.0009). MPA showed no significant main associations with HRV. Sleep duration/quality did not show direct associations with HRV; however, interactions were found with sleep duration. Among short sleepers, inadequate VPA was associated with lower HF-HRV (B = - 0.62, SE = 0.25, p = 0.01) and inadequate MPA was associated with lower RMSSD (B = - 0.26, SE = 0.10, p = 0.01) compared to adequate exercise. Among non-short sleepers, there were no significant differences in HRV between exercise groups.

conclusionThese findings suggest that short sleep and inadequate exercise may interact to lower HRV.
