Psychological stress and long-term blood pressure variability of military young males: The cardiorespiratory fitness and hospitalization events in armed forces study.
Article in World journal of cardiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
backgroundAcute stress might increase short-term heart rate variability and blood pressure variability (BPV); however, chronic stress would not alter short-term BPV in animal models.
aimTo examine the association of psychological stress with long-term BPV in young male humans.
methodsWe prospectively examined the association of chronic psychological stress with long-term BPV in 1112 healthy military males, averaged 32.2 years from the cardiorespiratory fitness and hospitalization events in armed forces study in Taiwan. Psychological stress was quantitatively evaluated with the Brief Symptom Rating Scale (BSRS-5), from the least symptom of 0 to the most severe of 20, and the five components of anxiety, insomnia, depression, interpersonal sensitivity, and hostility (the severity score in each component from 0 to 4). Long-term BPV was assessed by standard deviation (SD) for systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), and average real variability (ARV), defined as the average absolute difference between successive measurements of SBP or DBP, across four visits in the study period from 2012 to 2018 (2012-14, 2014-15, 2015-16, and 2016-18).
resultsThe results of multivariable linear regressions showed that there were no correlations of the BSRS-5 score with SD
conclusionOur findings suggest that chronic psychological stress might not be associated with long-term BPV in military young male humans.
