Cardiovascular risk and its influencing factors during exercise in apparently healthy Chinese adult population.
Article in BMC public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThere are few studies on the safety of sub-maximal exercise testing of aerobic exercise in apparently healthy Chinese populations. The purpose of this study was to explore the frequency of exercise electrocardiography (ECG) abnormalities and the corresponding exercise intensities, as well as the associated influencing factors, during a symptom-limited stepwise incremental cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) in an apparently healthy Chinese population.
methodsA cross-sectional study was done in four communities, one urban and one rural in the North (Beijing) and in the South (Hezhou, Guangxi) of China from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2018, respectively. Total of 1642 participants was recruited, 918 were eligible and completed demographic indicators, routine blood indicators, physical activity status, symptom-limited CPET and exercise ECG were included in the analysis.
resultsOf the exercise ECG outcomes, 10 (1.1%) were positive and occurred at exercise intensities ≥ 62.50% heart rate reserve (HRR); 44 (4.8%) were equivocal and 864 (94.1%) were normal. Individuals with Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factor (CVDRF) = 3-4 were 2.6 times more likely to have a equivocal and abnormal exercise ECG than those with CVDRF = 0-2. Exercise ECGs of individuals with CVDRF = 5-7 were 5.4 times more likely to be positive and abnormal than exercise ECGs of individuals with CVDRF = 0-2.
conclusionsThe exercise intensity of 62.5% HRR can be used as a safe upper limit for safe participation in exercise in apparently healthy Chinese population; the greater the number of CVDRFs, the greater the likelihood of cardiovascular risk during exercise.
