[Pulse pressure as a marker of cardiovascular risk among the elderly].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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 verify the clinical significance and the prognostic value of taking the pulse in the general elderly population.
designTransversal descriptive study between June and October 2000 within primary care.Participants. A simple randomised sample of 415 people was obtained from the population aged 60 or over (n=8,026) from sixteen lists of six health centres in Asturias. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Demographic variables and cardiovascular risk factors were analysed and the presence of associated cardiovascular pathology was investigated. The analysis divided blood pressure at the pulse into terciles.
results338 people (18.5% losses), with an average age of 73+/-7, 64% of whom were women, were included. The SP and DP means were 140+/-18 and 80+/-8 mm Hg, respectively. The pulse pressure terciles were: tercile 1, (3/4)51 mm Hg, tercile 2, 52-65 mm Hg and tercile 3, >=66 mm Hg. Those in tercile 3 were older than those in tercile 1 (P<.001) and had higher SP figures (P<.001). Tercile 3 was linked to greater prevalence of Hypertension, isolated systolic hypertension and worse control of hypertension; and also to greater prevalence of ischaemic cardiopathy (P=.018) and of overall cardiovascular pathology (P=.005). After logistical regression analysis, pulse pressure persisted as an independent variable (P=.017).
conclusionsAmong the elderly as a whole, blood pressure at the pulse is an independent marker of cardiovascular risk.
