Physical Activity and Hypertension.
Review in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Hypertension and physical inactivity are leading causes of premature mortality. While both are modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease, their prevalence remains high. As populations grow older, they are more likely to develop hypertension and to become less physically active. Scientific advances have contributed to understanding of how physical activity improves blood pressure and the clinically relevant ambulatory blood pressure, but this is not reflected in hypertension guidelines for clinical management of hypertension. The aim of this paper is to clearly present up to date knowledge from scientific studies that underpin the role of physical activity in hypertension management. Longitudinal studies in this review demonstrate a protective effect of higher physical activity levels as well as higher levels of cardiorespiratory fitness. Interventional studies report improvements in blood pressure associated with aerobic, resistance and concurrent exercise; the improvements in some studies were greatest among participant groups with established hypertensions; the effect was observed for groups with treatment-resistant hypertension also, a clinically important subgroup. The most recent research provides evidence for the synergy between physical activity and pharmacotherapy for the treatment of hypertension, providing an opportunity for clinicians to promote physical activity as an adjunctive treatment for hypertension as well as a preventative strategy. This review critiques the evidence and summarises the most up to date literature in the field of physical activity and hypertension.
