Association of weekend warriors and other physical activity patterns with hypertension in NHANES 2007-2018.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
To accommodate the fast-paced nature of modern life, the "Weekend Warriors (WW)" has emerged as a novel physical activity (PA) indicator. This study aims to investigate the relationship between WW and other PA patterns with hypertension, thereby addressing a significant research gap. Data from 30,697 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 2007 and 2018 were analyzed. We employed multiple regression analyses to examine the relationships among WW, other PA patterns, PA duration, PA intensity, and hypertension, with data stratified by various characteristics. Results showed that compared to the inactive group, the insufficiently PA pattern (OR = 0.9, 95% CI 0.8, 1.0), the WW group (OR = 0.9, 95% CI 0.7, 1.1), and the regularly active group (OR = 0.8, 95% CI 0.8, 0.9) were all negatively associated with hypertension, with the WW group showing a trend towards a reduced prevalence of hypertension (P for trend < 0.01). This association was particularly evident among middle-aged and older adults aged 41-80 years. Additionally, total moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) time, as well as moderate and vigorous PA intensity, showed "L"-shaped and "U"-shaped relationships with hypertension, with inflection points at 2640 MET minutes, 45%, and 62%, respectively. Our study provides insights for selecting suitable PA patterns but indicates the need for further research.
