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 cardiovascular response to acute exercise is mediated by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) control mechanisms that modulate vascular resistance to support blood pressure and ensure adequate blood flow to active muscles. These autonomic neurocirculatory control mechanisms include a feedforward mechanism, known as central command, and three feedback mechanisms, namely, (1) the exercise pressor reflex, (2) the baroreflex, and (3) the arterial chemoreflex. The purpose of this narrative review is to present the alterations in autonomic cardiovascular function during dynamic exercise with insights from individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI). To fully appreciate these alterations, we first provide a general overview of ANS control of cardiovascular responses to exercise in non-injured individuals with intact supraspinal control, followed by an overview of the acute cardiovascular response to exercise in individuals with SCI. We also review the impact of exercise interventions in individuals with SCI on autonomic cardiovascular control and cardiac and vascular adaptations.
