1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionHypertension is associated with changes in microcirculation, while increased blood pressure (BP) during exercise stress testing has been correlated with adverse outcomes.

aimTo evaluate the relationship of microcirculation with exercise BP response in hypertensive individuals.

methods105 hypertensive individuals underwent exercise stress testing and nail-fold videocapillaroscopy assessment, in order to evaluate the relationship of BP response to exercise with capillary density.

resultsA significant negative correlation between diastolic BP at 1-minute recovery and capillary density was revealed (Pearson's r = -0.365, p = 0.043). A significant negative correlation was also observed between capillary density and peak heart rate (HR) (Pearson's r = -0.364, p = 0.024) and HR increase from stage 1 to 2 (Pearson's r = -0.746, p = 0.013).

conclusionCapillary rarefaction is associated with an abnormal BP and HR response to exercise, highlighting the role of microcirculation in BP regulation during exercise.
