Cardiovascular responses to millet pounding activity among women in a rural community in Northeastern Nigeria.
Article in Annals of African medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPounding food items in a wooden mortal is a common home chore in many communities in African and Asian countries. However, no empirical data exist on energy expenditure during this activity, and whether the activity can be considered a light, moderate, or vigorous intensity physical activity is unknown. PURPOSE: This study was aimed at gaining insights into energy expenditure during millet pounding through cardiovascular responses to millet pounding activity, and to explore possible differences in response between women who pound millet as their occupation (habitual millet pounders) and those who pound millet only for their own home cooking but not as a job (nonhabitual pounders).
methodsA total of forty apparently healthy women performed millet pounding activity in standing position for 15 min durations, and their cardiovascular parameters including heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressures (DBPs), and rated perceived exertion (RPE) at rest, and immediately after pounding activity were assessed.
resultsSignificant increases in the subjects' cardiovascular parameters in the range of 7-12, 1-5, and 19-21 point values above the resting levels for SBP, DBP, and HR, respectively, were observed. Significantly higher SBP was also observed for the habitual pounders than the values for the nonhabitual pounders, whereas RPE was significantly higher for the nonhabitual pounders than for the habitual pounders in response to pounding.
conclusionThis study suggests that millet pounding substantially stresses the cardiovascular system sufficiently to place the activity within the moderate intensity category. Further studies on energy cost of this house chore, using instrumentation that is capable of direct measure of oxygen consumption, is warranted. Résumé Contexte: Le fait de battre des aliments dans un mortier en bois est une corvée à domicile fréquente dans de nombreuses communautés des pays d'Afrique et d'Asie. cependant, Il n'existe pas de données empiriques sur la dépense énergétique au cours de cette activité et si l'activité peut être considérée comme une activité légère, modérée ou vigoureuse Intensité est inconnue. Objectif: La présente étude visait à mieux comprendre les dépenses énergétiques au cours de la Les réponses cardiovasculaires à l'activité battue du mil, et d'explorer les différences possibles dans la réponse entre les femmes qui pound millet comme leur (Millet pounders habituels) et ceux qui pound millet seulement pour leur propre cuisine à la maison, mais pas comme un emploi (pounders nonhabituel). Méthodes: Un total de quarante femmes apparemment saines ont effectué une activité de pilage du mil en position debout pendant 15 min de durée, et leurs Les paramètres cardiovasculaires, y compris la fréquence cardiaque (FC), la pression artérielle systolique (PAS) et les pressions artérielles diastoliques (PAD) (RPE) au repos, et immédiatement après l'activité de pilonnage ont été évalués. Résultats: Augmentation significative des taux de On a observé des paramètres situés dans la plage des valeurs de 7-12, 1-5 et 19-21 points au-dessus des niveaux de repos pour la PAS, la PAD et la HR respectivement. On a également observé une PAS significativement plus élevée pour les pounders habituels que pour les pounders non habituels, alors que la PPE était Significativement plus élevé pour les pounders non habituels que pour les pounders habituels en réponse à pounding.
conclusionCette étude suggère Que le broyage du millet souligne sensiblement suffisamment le système cardiovasculaire pour placer l'activité dans la catégorie d'intensité modérée. D'autres études sur le coût de l'énergie de cette corvée maison, en utilisant une instrumentation qui est capable de mesure directe de la consommation d'oxygène, est justifiée.
