Verdict 3000 · Evidence Check

Stored-material review date: Not recorded  
Original evidence cut-off: 2026-09-07  
Review-criteria version: 1.0  
Public page/material preparation date: 2026-10-18

Clinical papers were not read directly; existing review summaries were checked. No new clinical-literature search was performed. Unverified does not mean that research is absent or that there is no effect.

## Assessment scope

- Population: Cohen has 77 untreated adults aged 35–65 with hypertension, all completed. Decaux has a separate 30 participants; detailed eligibility, blood-pressure medication, comorbidities and age are unverified. These samples do not fill arm denominators for reducing, stopping or replacing existing medication or for event endpoints.
- Ingredient, formulation and route: Knee angle, intensity calibration and supervision belong to original supervised isometric wall-squat/wall-sit conditions. Report-specific actual delivery, adherence and cointerventions are unverified. Research identification context is not turned into personal exercise, breathing, medication-change or treatment instructions.
- Dose: Distinguish original initial training 3 times weekly for 12 weeks, 4 holds of 2 minutes with 2-minute seated rests, and later maintenance 1 time weekly. Maintenance allocation, denominators and exact results are unverified. 1 time weekly is not treated as an adequate starting dose.
- Comparator: Cohen has 3 handgrip, wall-sit and no-exercise arms; Decaux has wall sit, low-intensity sham and no exercise. Direct medication comparison, equivalence, noninferiority and treatment replacement were not tested. Pressure changes or null results do not establish medication equivalence.
- Measured outcome: The selected questions are medication replacement and cardiovascular-event prevention. Original stored records say these were directly untested. Event counts, risks, between-group effects and CIs are unverified. Resting SBP and DBP are separate pressure outcomes; untested does not mean 0 events or an effect of 0, and pressure signals are not converted into clinical-event effects.
- Duration: Distinguish key initial 12-week training and later maintenance, Decaux 4 weeks, and mean 196/112 mmHg during a separate acute 90° hold. These time points do not become long-term event-prevention or treatment-replacement follow-up. Post-training clinical outcomes and the acute study bibliography, population and denominators are unverified.
- Questions outside this scope: Converting directly untested into 0 events, an effect of 0, equivalence or no studies at all; Transferring later once-weekly maintenance into a minimum starting dose; Combining resting SBP, DBP and acute in-exercise pressure as one result; Extending a blood-pressure surrogate to medication equivalence, dose reduction/replacement or cardiovascular-event prevention; Adding arms, outcomes, maintenance phases, related reports or sheets into new unique-trial/participant or independent-replication totals; Using original grades, public funding, COI declarations or 0 reported adverse events as new verdicts or independence/safety certification; Creating new numbers, effects, CIs, grades or exercise, breathing, medication reduction/replacement or treatment instructions

- Referenced methods: Preserved C/E/H application conditions concerning questions, populations, interventions, comparators, reports versus studies, endpoints, denominators and harms were referenced.

## Evidence and sources

### R01

Cohen DD, Aroca-Martinez G, Carreño-Robayo J, et al. Reductions in systolic blood pressure achieved by hypertensives with three isometric training sessions per week are maintained with a single session per week. J Clin Hypertens. 2023;25(4):380-387. PMID: 36965163. PMCID: PMC10085809. DOI: 10.1111/jch.14621.

[PubMed](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36965163/)

Materials actually read: Stored summary read; external abstracts, full texts, registration, protocols, SAPs and support disclosures unread  
Findings recorded in the summary: SBP 141.2 to 128.3 vs 138.9 to 138.5 mmHg; DBP between-group null  
Record level: Stored summary of a resting-pressure study. This is not a direct comparison of medication replacement, medication equivalence or cardiovascular-event prevention. Endpoint-specific event counts, time at risk, arm analysis denominators, effects and CIs are unverified. No new clinical effect is calculated from pressure reductions or 0 reported adverse events.  
Independent replication: Cohen and Decaux have separate preserved bibliographies; the parent and 3 subclaim questions share the same reports. Intervention, comparator, duration and support are not certified identical across the 12-week no-exercise and 4-week sham comparisons. Arms, repeated measures, maintenance, reports and sheets are not counted as new unique-trial/participant or independent-replication totals. An unidentified acute safety description does not create a hypothetical report.

## Review criteria and methods

These are Chamgap's own application conditions, informed by the relevant sections of official methodological guidance. They do not constitute official assessment-tool certification or a new efficacy score.

- M03 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2023-08](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-03) · §3.1, §3.2.1–3.2.3, MECIR C5/C7/C13 · Clearly record the question, eligibility conditions and reasons for changes, and distinguish variations in interventions. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M04 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5.1 (2025), chapter updated 2025-03](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-04) · §4.5, §4.6.1–4.6.3, MECIR C42 · Distinguish studies from reports and link them; do not omit a study solely because results are unreported. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M08 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2019-10](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-08) · §8.1–8.2.3, Table 8.2.a · Define the outcome and effect of interest, then examine randomization, deviations, missing data, measurement and selective reporting. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M15 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2023-08](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-15) · §15.2.4, §15.3.1–15.3.3 · Distinguish effect estimates, intervals, importance and applicability. Sample size alone does not determine precision. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.
- M19 [Cochrane Handbook 6.5 (2024), chapter updated 2019-10](https://www.cochrane.org/authors/handbooks-and-manuals/handbook/current/chapter-19) · §19.1.2, §19.2.1–19.2.4 · Harm questions may require different designs, populations and follow-up from efficacy questions. Case reports do not establish incidence rates. · Existing methodological links were reused for production. External originals were not reread and methodological content was not reassessed.

## What the statuses mean

- Partly verified: Some information is present in the stored source, with detailed original materials still unverified; this does not mean review passed or clinical efficacy certified
- Unverified: Detailed materials for the selected condition could not be established within the stored scope; this does not mean zero effect, zero studies or safety
- Review incomplete: Awaiting user review
- Met: Use only within the relevant condition's scope after user review; no automatic display in this preparation
- Not reported: Distinguish only within materials actually read; do not turn unread external materials into unreported findings
- Inaccessible: Not applied during this preparation because actual access was not tested
- Not applicable: Use with a reason for non-applicability based on an explicit question boundary
- Conflicting data: Judge after actual material comparison; review was not performed during this preparation
- Insufficient evidence for the conditions: Do not use as a clinical grade encompassing currently unread materials
