The Impact of Aerobic Exercise on Health Management in Older Patients with Hypertension: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials from the Past Decade.
Review in International journal of general medicine, 2025. 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
Purpose: This study was based on the PICO framework to systematically evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise on key health management indicators such as blood pressure, heart rate and cardiorespiratory fitness in older hypertensive patients. Patients and Methods: A systematic search of randomized controlled trials from four English language databases, Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase, and four Chinese language databases, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, and Sinomed, was performed (April 2014 to April 2024). StataCorp Stata v.18.0 was used for data analysis. In a random-effects meta-analysis, continuous variables were represented by the mean difference, and each effect size was represented by a 95% confidence interval. Results: Nine randomized controlled trials with 484 participants were included. The meta-analysis revealed that compared with the control group, participants engaging in aerobic exercise significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (SMD = -0.93, 95% CI = -1.48 to -0.39, Conclusion: Older patients with hypertension aged 60 years should engage in 120-150 minutes of low- to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week, maintaining 40-75% maximum HR or 40-60% VO
