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

purposeInvestigate the effects of acute high-intensity exercise on common carotid artery (CCA) dimensions, stiffness, and wave intensity.

methodsFifty-five healthy men and women (22 ± 5 year; 24.5 ± 2.7 kg m(-2)) underwent 30 s of high-intensity cycling (HIC; Wingate anaerobic test). CCA diameter, stiffness [β-stiffness, Elastic Modulus (E p)], pulsatility index (PI), forward wave intensities [due to LV contraction (W 1) and LV suction (W 2)], and reflected wave intensity [negative area (NA)] were assessed using a combination of Doppler ultrasound, wave intensity analysis, and applanation tonometry at baseline and immediately post-HIC.

resultsCCA β-stiffness, E p, PI and pulse pressure increased significantly immediately post-HIC (p < 0.05). CCA diameter decreased acutely post-HIC (p < 0.05). There were also significant increases in W 1 and NA and a significant decrease in W 2 (p < 0.05). A significant correlation was found between change in W 1 and PI (r = 0.438, p < 0.05), from rest to recovery as well as a significant inverse correlation between W 2 and PI (r = -0.378, p < 0.05). Change in PI was not associated with change in CCA stiffness or NA (p > 0.05).

conclusionsAcute HIC results in CCA constriction and increases in CCA stiffness along with increases in hemodynamic pulsatility. The increase in pulsatility may be due to a combination of increased forward wave intensity from increased LV contractility into a smaller vessel (i.e. impaired matching of diameter and flow) coupled with reduced LV suction.
