Effects of cold pressor-induced sympathetic stimulation on the mechanical properties of common carotid and femoral arteries in healthy males.
Trial report in Heart and vessels, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Our aim was to evaluate the effects of sympathetic excitation and elevation of blood pressure on mechanical properties of common carotid and femoral arteries by wave intensity analysis (WIA). The diameters and arterial stiffness parameters of right common carotid artery (RCCA) and right common femoral artery (RCFA) in healthy young men were measured by WIA at baseline and during cold pressor test (CPT). In addition, the blood pressure and heart rate were recorded simultaneously. The heart rates and blood pressures increased during CPT compared with baseline, while the pulse pressures remained unchanged. The diameters of RCCA increased slightly, while those of RCFA did not change. The Peterson's pressure modulus (Ep), augment index (AI), and pulse wave velocity from β (PWVβ) increased obviously, while arterial compliance (AC) decreased with no change in stiffness index (β) of both arteries during CPT when compared with baseline. There was an obvious increase in pulse wave velocity from wave intensity (PWV_WI) of RCCA, while the PWV_WI of RCFA showed no significant change during CPT. The sympathetic nervous system exerts a more marked tonic restraint on RCFA than on RCCA. The Ep, AC, AI, PWVβ of RCCA, and RCFA are much affected by variations in blood pressure and sympathetic status, while the β of both arteries are less vulnerable to these factors and are more reliable in reflecting the actual arterial stiffness; The PWV_WI appears to be suitable only for evaluating the stiffness of RCCA instead of RCFA.
