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

The aortic pulse pressure (PP), which consists mainly of the incident wave and the reflected wave, has emerged as an important property of systemic blood vessels underlying the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease. To determine the role of sympathetic nerve activity on the aortic PP response during dynamic exercise, we evaluated aortic hemodynamics during the right-leg knee-extension (40 and 60 % of maximal voluntary contraction) in six young adults with and without the systemic α1-adrenergic receptor blockade using prazosin (1 mg/20 kg body weight). The use of prazosin attenuated the exercise-induced increase in aortic PP (P < 0.05) but not in radial arterial PP. The amplitude of the reflected waves (via augmentation index) significantly decreased with the exercise and decreased more with the use of prazosin. These results suggest that during dynamic exercise the α1-adrenergic-mediated vasoconstrictor tone of the peripheral resistance vessels is manifestly involved in the magnitude of the reflected wave and the modulation of the aortic PP responses.
