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 cardiovascular response to exercise is abnormally large in hypertension. Over the past decade, it has become clear that the exercise pressor reflex (a peripheral feed-back mechanism originating in skeletal muscle) contributes significantly to the generation of this hyper-responsiveness. Further, it has been determined that overactivity of the mechanically (muscle mechanoreflex) and chemically (muscle metaboreflex) sensitive components of the exercise pressor reflex underpin its dysfunction. Given the recent attention in the literature, this review focuses upon the aberrant function of the muscle mechanoreflex in this disease. Evidence supporting a role for the mechanoreflex in the pathogenesis of the exaggerated cardiovascular response to physical activity is highlighted. The peripheral and central mechanisms that may be responsible for mechanoreflex overactivity in hypertension are likewise discussed. Particular attention is given to emerging evidence implicating a role for centrally-derived nitric oxide in this process.
