Acute exercise with whole-body vibration decreases wave reflection and leg arterial stiffness.
Article in American journal of cardiovascular disease, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
aimWhole-body vibration exercise (WBV) acutely decreases brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), an index of systemic arterial stiffness. However, the effect of WBV on segmental PWV and aortic hemodynamics is unknown. We examined the acute effects of WBV on arterial function.
methodsFifteen young men performed ten 1-min sets of static squat with WBV (40 Hz, 1 mm, 5.37 G) and without WBV (no-WBV). Brachial and aortic blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), augmentation index (AIx), baPWV, carotid-femoral PWV (cfPWV), and femoral-ankle (faPWV), were recorded before and 5, 15, and 30 min after both trials.
resultsBrachial and aortic SBP (P < 0.01), and HR (P < 0.01) were increased only at 5 min after both exercise trials. AIx was elevated through the recovery after no-WBV while decreased at 15 and 30 min after WBV exercise. FaPWV was decreased (P < 0.01) at 5 min after both trials, but returned to baseline at 15 min after no-WBV exercise and was maintained decreased at 15 and 30 min after WBV exercise. There were no significant changes in brachial and aortic diastolic BP, cfPWV and baPWV after both trials.
conclusionsOur findings indicate that regardless of WBV, static squat causes a small transient increase in hemodynamic responses during early recovery. WBV counteracts the increase in AIx induced by static squat and reduces wave reflection magnitude through a local effect on arterial stiffness.
