Acute arterial stiffness responses to stable vs. unstable squats: impacts of duration and intermittency.
Trial report 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
objectiveUnder stable and unstable conditions, we examined acute changes in arterial stiffness in response to static squat exercises of different durations and formats (continuous or intermittent).
methodsHealthy young adults (n = 23, 11 males and 12 females, aged 23 ± 1 years) participated in 7 trials in randomized order: no-squat control (CON), stable 1-min squat (S1), stable 6-min squat (S6), stable 6 × 1-min squat (6S1), unstable 1-min squat (U1), unstable 6-min squat (U6), and unstable 6 × 1-min squat (6U1). Arterial stiffness as assessed by cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) was measured repeatedly before and after exercises. CAVI changes from baseline (ΔCAVI) of the same trial were calculated.
resultsThere were no significant changes in ΔCAVI with S1 and U1 (P > 0.05). ΔCAVI decreased immediately after S6 to -0.5 ± 0.1 and 6S1 to -0.4 ± 0.1 (both P < 0.01). An increase in ΔCAVI was observed immediately after U6 to 0.4 ± 0.1 (P < 0.01), but such an increase was absent after 6U1 (P > 0.05).
conclusionStable long squat and its intermittent form decreased arterial stiffness similarly, while unstable long squat increased arterial stiffness, with its intermittent form abolishing this increase.
