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

backgroundAbnormal exercise blood pressure (BP) responses are associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease, but their relationship with home BP over a mid- to long-term time span is unknown.

methodsAt an FHS (Framingham Heart Study) research examination (2016-2019), participants underwent maximum incremental ramp cycle ergometry cardiopulmonary exercise testing with BP measured every 2 minutes. At the same exam, English-speaking participants enrolled in the electronic FHS with an iPhone were provided with a digital BP cuff to measure home BP weekly for 1 year. Linear regression models examined associations of exercise BP with average home systolic BP (SBP), home-based hypertension, and week-to-week average real variability of home SBP, over 1-year follow-up. Participants with <3 weeks of BP return were excluded.

resultsAmong 808 participants (mean age, 53 years; 58% women; 92% White individuals; 47% hypertension), higher exercise BP responses (peak SBP, SBP at 75 W, SBP/workload slope, peak diastolic BP, and diastolic BP at 75 W) were associated with higher average home SBP. Higher peak diastolic BP was associated with a greater risk for home hypertension. Additionally, higher SBP/workload slope and peak diastolic BP were associated with elevated average real variability of home SBP only in participants without antihypertensive use.

conclusionsHigher exercise BP responses were associated with higher average home-based BP, greater home-based hypertension risk, and increased home-based BP variability over a mid- to long-term time span. However, these associations may vary by antihypertensive medication use. Exercise BP may play an important role in hypertension prevention and treatment.
