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

backgroundSystemic arterial hypertension (SAH) shows a high prevalence among postmenopausal women and represents an important public health concern.

objectiveTo evaluate factors associated with SAH in postmenopausal women participating in a resistance training program.

methodsThis observational, cross-sectional study included 55 postmenopausal women (66.0 ± 4.9 years) recruited from the "More Active Women" research project, an umbrella experimental and longitudinal study involving resistance training interventions. Cross-sectional data were collected during the baseline assessment (April-May 2025). Sociodemographic variables, nutritional status (body mass index and waist circumference), and behavioral and health-related variables obtained through structured interviews and anthropometric assessments were analyzed. Associations were tested using Pearson's chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, with effect size estimated by Phi or Cramer's V when appropriate, and binary logistic regression was performed for adjusted analyses.

resultsSignificant associations were observed between SAH and elevated BMI (

conclusionExcess central adiposity and lower educational level are associated with SAH in postmenopausal women, highlighting the importance of integrated health promotion strategies that address both cardiometabolic risk factors and social determinants of health during aging.
