Original evidence cut-off: 2026-09-07  
Review-criteria version: 1.0  
Public page/material preparation date: 2026-10-16

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 records 77 untreated adults aged 35–65 with hypertension, all completed. Arm denominators, diagnosis/baseline severity, eligibility/exclusions and measurement completeness are unverified. Decaux has a separate 30 participants; counts are not added.
- Ingredient, formulation and route: Knee angle, intensity calibration and supervision belong to the original supervised isometric wall-sit conditions. Exact settings, actual delivery and adherence are unverified. This sheet describes research records and creates no personal exercise, breathing 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: Within Cohen’s 3 handgrip, wall-sit and no-exercise arms, the selected comparison is wall sit versus no exercise. Decaux’s 4-week wall-sit, low-intensity sham and no-exercise comparisons are separate. Arm denominators, contact, expectations, activity and exact comparator-specific contrasts are unverified.
- Measured outcome: At 12 weeks, office resting SBP is 141.2→128.3 with wall sits versus 138.9→138.5 mmHg with no exercise. Distinguish original within-group changes -12.9/P<.001 and -0.4 from the historical simple difference -12.5. That simple difference is not an adjusted estimate; exact between-group 95% CIs, model and prospective hierarchy are unverified. The null between-group DBP result is separate.
- Duration: Initial 12 weeks and later maintenance, Decaux 4 weeks, and mean 196/112 mmHg during a separate acute 90° hold refer to different times. The acute study bibliography, population and denominators are not linked. Do not extend this to long-term effects, treated people, other ages, medication replacement or cardiovascular events.
- Questions outside this scope: Transferring within-group changes/P or a historical simple difference into adjusted between-group effects/CIs; 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

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.

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 directly related to the selected question. Preserve 77 participants all completed, 12-week resting SBP 141.2→128.3 with wall sits versus 138.9→138.5 mmHg with no exercise, within-group -12.9/P<.001 versus -0.4. Historical simple -12.5 is not an adjusted effect. Arm denominators, variance, exact between-group 95% CIs and prospective hierarchy are unverified. Null between-group DBP, maintenance and 0 reported adverse events have separate contexts.  
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

- Met: A state used when required evidence is confirmed after user review. This production does not declare that review complete.
- Partly verified: Some information in the stored summary is linked into the table. External comparison/content review is not complete.
- Unverified: The article leaves this unverified, or required material is absent from the current stored summary. This is distinct from zero, absence or safety.
- Review incomplete: User review pending.
- Not reported: Not reported within the stored material actually read; not extended to the entire primary paper.
- Inaccessible: Means an actual access failure. Access not attempted here is not assigned this state.
- Not applicable: Not used as a substitute for an evidence gap.
- Conflicting data: Requires an observed disagreement under the same comparison criteria; not automatically judged in this production.
- Insufficient evidence for the conditions: Marks a gap in additional material required by the selected conditions; not a new efficacy grade.
