The cardiovascular exercise response in children with overweight or obesity measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
backgroundOverweight and obesity are among the main causes of cardiovascular diseases. Exercise testing can aid in the early detection of subtle cardiac dysfunction not present in rest. We hypothesized that the cardiovascular response to exercise is impaired among children with overweight or obesity, characterized by the inability of the cardiovascular system to adapt to exercise by increasing cardiac volumes and blood pressure. We performed a cardiovascular stress test to investigate whether the cardiovascular exercise response is altered in children with overweight and obesity, as compared to children with a normal weight. SUBJECTS: A subgroup of the Generation R population-based prospective cohort study, consisting of 41 children with overweight or obesity and 166 children with a normal weight with a mean age of 16 years, performed an isometric exercise.
methodsContinuous heart rate and blood pressure were measured during rest, exercise and recovery. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) measurements were performed during rest and exercise.
resultsHigher BMI was associated with a higher resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure (difference: 0.24 SDS (95% CI 0.10, 0.37) and 0.20 SDS (95% CI 0.06, 0.33)) and lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure increases from rest to peak exercise (-0.11 SDS (95% CI -0.20, -0.03) and -0.07 SDS (95% CI -0.07, -0.01)). BMI was also associated with a slower decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure during recovery (p values < 0.05). Higher childhood BMI was associated with lower BSA corrected left ventricular mass, end-diastolic volume and stroke volume (p values < 0.05). There were no associations of childhood BMI with the cardiac response to exercise measured by heart rate and CMR measurements.
conclusionChildhood BMI is, across the full range, associated with a blunted blood pressure response to static exercise but there were no differences in cardiac response to exercise. Our findings suggest that adiposity may especially affect the vascular exercise reaction without affecting cardiac response.
