Meta-Analysis Data on Exercise and Vascular Function in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes

A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating the effects of resistance training on vascular function in adults with type 2 diabetes. The dataset, published by Yanhao Wang on figshare in May 2026, includes results from randomized controlled trials sourced from databases like PubMed and Web of Science. It contains pooled effect sizes for outcomes such as arterial stiffness and endothelial function.

Use Cases

• Replicate the meta-analysis results based on the pooled effect sizes for arterial stiffness and endothelial function.
• Conduct subgroup analyses based on intervention type (resistance training alone vs. combined with aerobic training) mentioned in the description.
• Explore moderators of exercise effects on vascular health using the meta-regression framework described.
• Assess the certainty of evidence for different vascular outcomes, such as wave reflection indices and peripheral hemodynamics.

Strengths

• Follows PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews, suggesting a structured methodology.
• Includes data from nine databases, including Chinese sources like CNKI and Wanfang Data.
• Reports specific pooled effect sizes (Hedge's g) with 95% confidence intervals for key outcomes.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset's 2.1 MB size suggests it is relatively small, potentially limiting the granularity of the underlying data.
