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

objectiveTo examine acute effects of various bouts of grounded and heightened one-leg standing (OLS) on arterial stiffness of supporting and non-supporting side, and to investigate the possible role of muscle activity of supporting leg.

methodsTwenty-two healthy young adults (24.3 ± 0.3 years) underwent 7 conditions using random crossover fashion: no-intervention control (CON), grounded OLS for 1 × 3 min (G1), 2 × 3 min (G2) and 3 × 3 min (G3), and heightened OLS for 1 × 3 min (H1), 2 × 3 min (H2) and 3 × 3 min (H3). Bilateral arterial stiffness measurements using cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) were performed at baseline (BL), immediately (0 min) and every 10 min after OLS. CAVI changes from BL in the same condition (∆CAVI) were analyzed. Root mean square (RMS) from electromyography was used to reflect gastrocnemius muscle (GS) activity.

resultsAs to supporting side, ∆CAVI remained unchanged in G1, G2 and G3, and decreased in H1 with - 0.4 ± 0.1 and in H2 with - 0.5 ± 0.1 relative to CON at 0 min; however, it increased in H3 with 0.5 ± 0.1 relative to CON at 0 min. ∆CAVI changes of non-supporting side were similar to those of supporting side in all corresponding conditions. RMS of GS from supporting leg was increased in heightened OLS (P < 0.01).

conclusionGrounded OLS has no impacts on AS regardless of standing dose, and heightened OLS results in AS decrease and increase with increasing standing bouts. AS changes induced by height exposure are bilateral, and might be related to increased GS activity of supporting leg.
