The influence of common exercise on the prevalence of hypertension.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundNumerous studies have shown that physical activity can effectively reduce blood pressure. And exercise is a physical activity that we can control, so which kind of exercise modalities is more closely related to the prevalence of hypertension needs further research.
methodsThis study's data came from the baseline survey of the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort. Sociodemographic information, physical activity, and hypertension prevalence were extracted to analyze the relationship between different common exercise modalities and the prevalence of hypertension.
resultsA total of 40,308 participants were included, and the prevalence of hypertension was 34.0%.The main exercise modalities of 24,260 (60.2%) respondents were Taichi /Qigong /leisure walking, 9046 (22.4%) brisk walking /gymnastics /folk dancing, 3194 (7.9%) jogging /aerobic exercise, 312 (0.8%) swimming, 1509 (3.7%) ball game, 657 (1.6%) equipment exercise, and 1330 (3.3%) others (e.g. mountain climbing). Compared with walking, jogging /aerobic exercise (OR: 0.781; 95%CI: 0.648-0.942), ball game (OR: 0.685; 95%CI: 0.539-0.871), and others (e.g. mountain climbing) (OR: 0.713; 95%CI: 0.528-0.964) they had a lower prevalence of hypertension. Among males, playing ball games (OR: 0.628; 95%CI: 0.476-0.827) had a lower prevalence of hypertension, while among females it was jogging /aerobic exercise(OR: 0.531; 95%CI: 0.371-0.762). Youth group who took jogging /aerobic exercise (OR: 0.642; 95%CI: 0.436-0.945) and ball game (OR: 0.416; 95%CI: 0.26-0.665) had a lower prevalence of hypertension.
conclusionPeople who do ball games, jogging /aerobic exercise, and others (e.g. mountain climbing) exercises had a lower prevalence of hypertension than walking, and there were differences between age and sex.
