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

purposeLower aerobic fitness increases the risk of developing hypertension. Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) is important for the beat-by-beat regulation of blood pressure. Whether the cardiovascular consequences of lower aerobic fitness are due to augmented transduction of MSNA into vascular responses is unclear. We tested the hypothesis that aerobic fitness is inversely related to peak increases in total peripheral resistance (TPR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in response to spontaneous MSNA bursts in young males.

methodsRelative peak oxygen consumption (VO

resultsOverall, aerobic fitness was inversely correlated to the peak ΔTPR (0.8 ± 0.7 mmHg/l/min; R = - 0.61, P = 0.007) and ΔMAP (2.3 ± 0.8 mmHg; R = - 0.69, P < 0.001), but not with the peak ΔCO (0.2 ± 0.1 l/min; P = 0.50), MSNA burst frequency (14 ± 5 bursts/min; P = 0.43) or MSNA relative burst amplitude (65 ± 12%; P = 0.13). Heartbeats without an associated burst of MSNA did not increase TPR, MAP or CO.

conclusionAlthough unrelated to traditional MSNA characteristics, aerobic fitness was inversely associated with spontaneous sympathetic neurovascular transduction in young males. This may be a potential mechanism by which aerobic fitness modulates the regulation of arterial blood pressure through the sympathetic nervous system.
