Skeletal muscle phenotype and blood pressure after acute exercises.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2026. 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
purposeThe inter-individual responses in systolic blood pressure (SBP) vary from no change to marked reduction after acute exercise. We hypothesized that skeletal muscle phenotype modifies SBP responses.
methodsNormotensive participants (12 males and 8 females, age 27 ± 6 years) performed two 30-min exercises, continuous and interval, by cycle ergometer on separate days. The area under the curve (AUC) for SBP was calculated until 60 min after exercise. Intensity of continuous exercise was 60% of peak exercise workload and interval exercise 8 × 1 min intervals (80-90% of peak exercise workload) with 2 min easy cycling between. The average workload was equal for both exercises (60%). Stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) were measured at rest and after exercise. Muscle biopsies were taken from vastus lateralis on separate days, and the percentage of slow/fast fibers, capillary density and mitochondrial respiration were analyzed.
resultsAUC for SBP was - 386 ± 387 vs -399 ± 228 mmHg·min (p = 0.89) after continuous and interval exercises, respectively. After interval exercise, AUC correlated with the percentage of fast fibers (r = - 0.60, p = 0.010) and, eg, with ΔCO (r = 0.45, p = 0.049) and ΔBRS (r = 0.48, p = 0.046). In the stepwise linear regression analysis, the percentage of fast fibers was the strongest predictor of AUC after interval exercise (partial correlation r = - 0.53, β = - 5.9, p = 0.024). AUC after continuous exercise did not correlate with any outcomes.
conclusionParticipants with a greater proportion of fast fibers had superior SBP reductions after interval exercise. The muscle phenotype is an independent determinant of postexercise SBP after interval exercise.
