Vascular function responses to resistance exercise followed by intermittent hypoxic exposure in untrained males.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThis study investigated whether intermittent hypoxic exposure following resistance exercise mitigates acute vascular dysfunction. The main objective was to assess the effects of post-exercise hypoxia on flow-mediated dilation (FMD), blood pressure, and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in untrained males.
methodsThirteen untrained male university students (age: 20.46 ± 0.87 years; body mass index: 23.6 ± 0.67 kg/m
resultsPost-exercise systolic blood pressure decreased in all conditions (p < 0.05), with no significant differences between conditions, while diastolic blood pressure showed no significant changes (p > 0.05). baPWV decreased in RE and RE-H2 (p < 0.05) but not in RE-H1, with RE showing greater reductions than RE-H1 (p < 0.05). Blood flow and shear rates increased in all conditions (p < 0.05), with greater responses in RE-H1 and RE-H2 (p < 0.05). FMD decreased after RE (p < 0.05) but was maintained in RE-H1 and RE-H2 for 60 min post-exercise. The %FMD/Δ shear rate remained consistently higher in RE-H1 and RE-H2 than in RE throughout the post-exercise period (p < 0.05).
conclusionIntermittent hypoxia following resistance exercise appears to preserve endothelial function and prevent transient vascular impairment, suggesting its potential as a recovery-enhancing strategy.
