Higher blood pressure during light exercise is associated with increased left ventricular mass index in normotensive subjects.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
An exaggerated blood pressure response during an exercise test reflects a future risk of hypertension and is related to increased left ventricular mass (LVM) in hypertensive patients. However, whether this relationship exists in normotensive subjects is not known. We enrolled 7923 health normotensive screening volunteers. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) at stage 1 of the exercise test was used as an indicator of the exercise BP response. Two-dimensional echocardiography was used to obtain the LVM index. Exercise SBP was significantly correlated with the LVM index (r = 0.11, P < 0.001). Higher exercise SBP at stage 1 was associated with an increased LVM index after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, hemoglobin, SBP at rest, and peak oxygen consumption (P < 0.001). Higher SBP during low-intensity exercise was associated with an increased LVM index in normotensive subjects.
