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: Studies suggest that obesity is linked to both autonomic nervous system dysfunction and cognitive impairment, but the specific quantitative associations are not well explored. Purpose: This study was proposed to explore the quantification of different neurocognitive signatures and heart rate variability (HRV) parameters with increasing body weight among metabolically healthy obese participants for better analytical predictors. Methods: The present research is a cross-sectional study, including a total of 101 ( Results: Significant changes were observed for neurocognitive performances and HRV indices for the metabolically healthy obese group compared with the control group. With the association heatmaps, BMI was found to be significantly negatively associated with the BDNF and high-frequency band (HF band, ms Conclusion: The findings of the present study support that HRV could be a valuable early non-invasive tool for future cognitive decline in a population with metabolically healthy obesity. Clinical Trial Registry: The study was registered at Clinical Trial Registry of India (CTRI/2022/10/046935).
