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

Background and Aims: Aerobic and resistance exercise (RE) are both promoted as positive lifestyle modifications to improve cardiovascular health. While research has shown that regular aerobic exercise can improve arterial stiffness, paucity remains surrounding the vascular effects of RE. Acute RE is shown to increase and decrease arterial stiffness following exercise bouts. Additionally, the day-to-day reliability of post-RE arterial stiffness responses are currently unknown. Purpose: To understand the day-to-day reliability of arterial stiffness following two identical bouts of acute RE in healthy young females. Methods: Fifteen non-resistance trained females (21 ± 3 years) completed two 60-min full body RE sessions with a 7-min aerobic warm-up and cooldown on separate days. For each session, arterial stiffness (i.e., carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity [cfPWV]) was measured before and for an hour post-RE in 15-min intervals. Test-retest reliability of pre- and post-RE cfPWV from the two visits was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and a linear mixed model (LMM). Results: cfPWV revealed good reliability at rest (ICC: 0.87, 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 0.66-0.96) and post-RE at 15 (ICC: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.43-0.91), 30 (ICC: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.35-0.90), and moderate reliability at 45 (ICC: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.29-0.88), and 60 min post-RE (ICC: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.33-0.90). LMM analysis demonstrated good reliability for cfPWV across visits (ICC: 0.81), with no significant main effect for visit (F (1,126) = 0.308, Conclusion: These findings suggest that cfPWV measurements at rest and following an acute bout of RE demonstrate moderate to good day-to-day reliability in healthy young females for up to an hour, supporting the use of cfPWV in research investigating vascular responses to RE.
