Dose-effect relationship between brisk walking and blood pressure in Chinese occupational population with sedentary lifestyles: Exercise and blood pressure.

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
The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of brisk walking on blood pressure (BP) in Chinese Han occupational populations to identify the appropriate volume of exercise needed for BP management. Eight-hundred and two office staff with sedentary lifestyles were recruited to receive a prescription pedometer-assisted brisk walking intervention for 3 months. To evaluate exercise intervention efficiency using statistical methods, the effective steps was divided as follows: 4000- < 8000 (Level 1), 8000- < 10 000 (Level 2), 10 000-12 000 (Level 3), and > 12 000 (Level 4) steps/day. The data of 688 participants who completed the study were analyzed. After intervention, Systolic BP (SBP) and Diastolic BP (DBP) at Levels 1-3 were significantly decreased (p < .05). For participants with hypertension at baseline, all four levels demonstrated a significantly reduced SBP and DBP. In addition, there was a significant dose-effect relationship between the effective steps and the SBP. Compared with the maximum effective steps level (Level 4), the average change of SBP between level 1-3 and level 4 were statistically significant, with -3.24 mm Hg (95%CI: -5.74 to -0.74, p = .011), -2.58 mm Hg (95%CI: -4.73 to -0.43, p = .019), and -2.19 mm Hg (95%CI: -4.20 to -0.18, p = .033), respectively. For the hypertensive cohort, only the difference between Level 1 and 4 was statistically significant (Level 1 vs. Level 4: difference in means = -6.22 mm Hg, 95%CI: -12.68 to -0.24, p = .036). No significant dose-effect relationship of DBP was observed. Our findings showed brisk walking can effectively control BP in Chinese populations and a significant dose-effect relationship was found between exercise and SBP.
