The anti-hypertensive effects of exercise: integrating acute and chronic mechanisms.
Review in Sports medicine (Auckland, N.Z.), 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06592209 (Body Electric), which is not on this map. Cited by 36 papers, 6 of them syntheses 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
It is anticipated that hypertension will afflict up to a third of the worldwide population by the year 2025. Therefore, cost-effective treatment strategies are essential to control this disease. Exercise has been associated with anti-hypertensive benefits, but despite extensive research the optimal exercise dose (training frequency, intensity and time) required to lower blood pressure and maintain normotensive status remains unclear. This article explores the interrelationships between acute and chronic mechanisms that have been linked to the anti-hypertensive benefits of exercise and proposes that the optimal exercise dosage may depend on the interplay between these mechanisms and the effects of exercise on independent risk markers of hypertension. Therefore, the correct exercise dose for the treatment of hypertension should be prescribed on an individual basis. Future work should examine post-exercise hypotension effects in relation to exercise training in hypertensive populations and both acute and longitudinal training studies should be conducted that incorporate independent risk factors of hypertension as co-variables into their analysis on blood pressure effects.
