Effects of acute low intensity aerobics and blueberry juice on arterial stiffness in young adults.
Article in NPJ science of food, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Arterial stiffness, a cardiovascular disease (CVD) predictor starting from youth, is under-researched in young adults. Low-intensity aerobic exercise (LAE) is generally more accessible than higher-intensity exercise and may be more sustainable for young individuals. Blueberries, renowned for vascular health benefits, may reduce arterial stiffness. This study examines the effects of LAE and blueberry juice on arterial stiffness in 48 young adults. Participants were randomized into LAE, low-, mid-, or high-volume blueberry juice (LB, MB, HB), LAE + LB, LAE + MB, LAE + HB, and control groups. Arterial stiffness was measured at baseline and at 15-, 30-, 45-, and 60 min post-intervention. Blood samples were collected pre-intervention and 30-min post-intervention for metabolomic analysis. Repeated ANOVA revealed LAE + MB significantly reduced arterial stiffness. Metabolomic analysis revealed changes in linoleic acid, sphingolipid, phenylalanine, nicotinate and nicotinamide, glycerophospholipid, and lysine degradation metabolic pathways. These findings suggest a feasible exercise-diet strategy for CVD prevention in young adults and provide metabolic insights into the mechanisms.
