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

purposeTo examine and compare systemic arterial stiffness responses in humans to acute continuous and interval low-intensity exercise.

methodsFifteen healthy young men (21.2 ± 0.4 years) underwent non-exercise control (CON), continuous exercise (CE), and interval exercise trial (IE) in a randomized balanced self-control crossover design. Systemic arterial stiffness (Cardio-ankle vascular index, CAVI) was measured at baseline (BL), immediately after (0 min) and 40 min after exercise in CE and IE trials, and at corresponding time points in CON trial. Subjects cycled continuously for 30 min at 35 % heart rate reserve after BL measurement in CE trial, whereas in IE trial, subjects cycled two bouts of 15-min separated by a 20-min rest at the same intensity.

resultsThere were no significant CAVI changes with time in CON trial (6.7 ± 0.1, 6.7 ± 0.1, 6.6 ± 0.1 at BL, 0 and 40 min, respectively). In CE trial, CAVI decreased immediately after exercise (0 min) and returned to baseline after 40 min of recovery (6.5 ± 0.1, 5.5 ± 0.2, 6.4 ± 0.1 at BL, 0 and 40 min, respectively). IE elicited similar CAVI reduction from 6.7 ± 0.1 at baseline to 5.6 ± 0.2 at 0 min: however, CAVI at 40 min remained significantly low compared to that of CON trial at corresponding time point (6.0 ± 0.1 vs. 6.6 ± 0.1, P < 0.001).

conclusionBoth acute continuous and interval low-intensity exercise elicits transient improvement in systemic arterial stiffness in humans. Despite equivalent exercise intensity and duration, interval exercise resulted in improved arterial stiffness for longer duration.
