No effect of either heat therapy or aerobic exercise training on blood pressure in adults with untreated hypertension: a randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Hypertension, a primary and preventable risk factor for cardiovascular and kidney disease, may be ameliorated by nonpharmacological lifestyle interventions such as aerobic exercise and heat therapy. Although both interventions have been demonstrated to reduce blood pressure in a variety of populations, there are no studies that have directly compared these methods for lowering blood pressure in adults with untreated hypertension. Forty-one adults (48 [35, 56] yr) were randomized to complete either 30 sessions of aerobic exercise training (
