The Influence of Exercise and Physical Activity on Autonomic Nervous System Function Measured by Heart Rate Variability in Individuals with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus-A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07382856 (Effect of Low-intensity Aerobic Regular Activity on Heart Rate Variability in Type 1 Diabetes), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
Non-pharmacological interventions, such as physical activity and exercise, are essential in managing type 1 diabetes mellitus by improving glycemic control, cardiovascular health and autonomic function. Given the chronic nature and long-term complications associated with type 1 diabetes, strategies beyond pharmacotherapy are essential. This review examines the effects of exercise on heart rate variability, a key indicator of autonomic nervous system activity. A systematic search was conducted in March 2024 across PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and CINAHL databases. Studies evaluating the retrospective or prospective impact of exercise or physical activity on heart rate variability parameters were included. Utilizing best evidence synthesis, the methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated. Seven studies met the inclusion criteria, all of which were rated as methodologically weak. Moderate evidence suggests that exercise may enhance heart rate variability, particularly by increasing parasympathetic activity and improving sympathovagal balance. However, evidence remains limited regarding the optimal type, frequency and intensity of exercise. Exercise appears to support autonomic function in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Nonetheless, further high-quality research is needed to determine the most effective exercise modalities and to inform evidence-based clinical guidelines.
