Accelerometer-derived "weekend warrior" physical activity pattern and cardiovascular disease in individuals with hypertension: a prospective cohort study.
Article in BMC medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundExtensive evidence has demonstrated that physical activity (PA), particularly moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA (MVPA), has protective effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals with hypertension. However, the relative effects of different PA patterns in this high-risk population remain unclear. We aimed to evaluate the associations of three PA patterns ("weekend warrior" (WW), regularly active, and inactive) with incident CVD in individuals with hypertension.
methodsThis large prospective cohort study included 40,283 adults with hypertension from the UK Biobank who had accelerometer-measured PA data between June 2013 and December 2015. Participants were categorized into three groups: the regularly active pattern, the WW pattern, and the inactive group. Outcomes included overall CVD, as well as its four major subtypes: myocardial infarction (MI), atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure (HF), and stroke. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the associations between PA patterns and outcomes.
resultsOver a median follow-up of 7.59 years (interquartile range, 7.33-8.47), 3789 new cases of overall CVD were identified. Compared with the inactive group, both the WW (HR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.71-0.82) and regularly active (0.78, 0.71-0.85) patterns were associated with a significantly and similarly reduced risk of developing overall CVD. Moreover, both active groups showed reduced risks of incident MI (WW, 0.75, 0.65-0.87; regularly active, 0.72, 0.61-0.86), AF (WW, 0.77, 0.70-0.85; regularly active, 0.80, 0.71-0.90), HF (WW, 0.58, 0.50-0.68; regularly active, 0.67, 0.56-0.80), and stroke (WW, 0.78, 0.65-0.93; regularly active, 0.85, 0.70-1.05). Additional subgroup and sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of main findings.
conclusionsThe WW pattern was associated with a similarly lower risk of CVD as more evenly distributed activity in individuals with hypertension, offering an effective and flexible strategy for improving cardiovascular health.
