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

purposeAcute cardiovascular recovery from exercise remains poorly characterized in young Black men, a population at elevated cardiovascular risk. Therefore, we compared integrated hemodynamic and cardiac autonomic responses following aerobic (AE) versus resistance exercise (RE) in this group.

methodsFifteen Black men (18-29 years) completed counterbalanced bouts of AE (30 min cycling, 65% of peak heart rate) and RE (six barbell exercises, 3 × 10 repetitions, 95% of 10-repetition maximum). Supine pulse wave analysis assessed augmentation index normalized to 75 bpm (AIx75), wave-reflection components, subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR), and central and brachial blood pressure before and at 5, 15, and 30 min post-exercise. HR and the natural log of the root mean square of successive differences (LnRMSSD) were derived from electrocardiography.

resultsExercise duration and mean HR were similar between modes (Ps > 0.05), whereas peak HR was higher during RE (P < 0.01). RE produced larger and more sustained elevations in AIx75 and wave-reflection indices, greater reductions in SEVR and central and brachial diastolic blood pressure, and higher HR with lower LnRMSSD throughout recovery compared with AE (mode × time interactions, all P < 0.001). Mode differences persisted independent of peak HR.

conclusionIn young Black men, RE induces a more pronounced and sustained cardiovascular and autonomic strain during the early post-exercise period than AE, characterized by elevated central afterload, reduced myocardial oxygen supply-demand balance, and delayed parasympathetic reactivation. These findings offer novel mechanistic insight into modality-specific cardiovascular responses in a high-risk population and support consideration of recovery kinetics in exercise programming.
