Association between physical activity and resistant hypertension in treated hypertension patients: analysis of the national health and nutrition examination survey.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionCurrent guidelines suggest that regular aerobic training might lower blood pressure in hypertensive individuals. However, evidence linking resistant hypertension (RH) with total daily physical activity (PA), including work-, transport-, and recreation-related PA, is limited. Therefore, this study assessed the association between daily PA and RH.
methodA cross-sectional study was conducted using data acquired from a nationwide survey in the US (the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, NHANES). The weighted prevalence of RH was calculated, and moderate and vigorous daily PA was assessed using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). A multivariate logistic regression model determined the association between daily PA and RH.
resultsA total of 8,496 treated hypertension patients were identified, including 959 RH cases. The unweighted prevalence of RH among treated hypertension cases was 11.28%, while the weighted prevalence was 9.81%. Participants with RH had a low rate of recommended PA levels (39.83%), and daily PA and RH were significantly associated. PA exhibited significant dose-dependent trends with a low probability of RH (p-trends < 0.05). Additionally, participants with sufficient daily PA had a 14% lower probability of RH than those with insufficient PA [fully adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 0.86; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.74-0.99).
conclusionThe present study revealed that RH has an incidence of up to 9.81% in treated hypertension patients. Hypertensive patients tended to be physically inactive, and insufficient PA and RH were significantly associated. Sufficient daily PA should be recommended to reduce the RH probability among treated hypertension patients.
