1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The time-course changes in the exercise pressor response throughout gestation remain unknown. As pregnancy is associated with altered hemodynamics and sympathetic activation, we hypothesized that neural responses to static handgrip (SHG) exercise would be augmented, especially during late pregnancy. Forty-six women (30 ± 6 yr [SD]) were studied longitudinally during early and late pregnancy and postpartum. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output (Qc), total peripheral resistance (TPR = MAP/Qc), and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) were measured during supine rest and SHG at 40% of maximal voluntary contraction force until fatigue, followed by 2-min postexercise circulatory occlusion (PECO) to isolate muscle metaboreflex activation. The peak increase (Δ) in MAP during fatiguing SHG did not differ among gestation stages (
