Review in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05610462 (A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial of Exercise in Aortic Dissection Survivors), which is not on this map. Cited by 46 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

unlabelledOBJECTIVE To provide recommendations on exercise training as part of the management of hypertension in adults.Quality of evidence Evidence was found through a systematic search of PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality evidence-based reports, Bandolier, Clinical Evidence, the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement guidelines, the National Guideline Clearinghouse database, UpToDate,and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (part of Ovid Evidence Based Medicine Reviews) for articles published from January 1973 to September 2013. Study types were limited to meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, clinical trials, and reviews. MAIN MESSAGE: Exercise exerts an antiinflammatoryaction through the sympathetic nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis, and has direct effects on blood pressure. The resulting physiologic effects are classified as acute, postexercise, and chronic. Current treatment guidelines emphasize the role of nonpharmacologic interventions, including physical activity, in the management of mild to moderate hypertension.

conclusionModerate intensity aerobic exercise has been proven to prevent hypertension and to help in the management of stage 1 hypertension. Dynamic resistance exercises, if done properly, contribute to lowering both systolic and diastolic blood pressures. There is insufficient evidence about the safety and efficacy of isometric resistance training to recommend it.
