Relation between digital peripheral arterial tonometry and brachial artery ultrasound measures of vascular function in patients with coronary artery disease and in healthy volunteers.

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
Digital peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) is an emerging, noninvasive method to assess vascular function. The physiology underlying this phenotype, however, remains unclear. Therefore, we evaluated the relation between digital PAT and established brachial artery ultrasound measures of vascular function under basal conditions and after reactive hyperemia. Using a cross-sectional study design, digital PAT and brachial artery ultrasonography with pulsed wave Doppler were simultaneously completed at baseline and after reactive hyperemia in both those with established coronary artery disease (n = 99) and healthy volunteers with low cardiovascular disease risk (n = 40). Under basal conditions, the digital pulse volume amplitude demonstrated a significant positive correlation with the brachial artery velocity-time integral that was independent of the arterial diameter, in both the healthy volunteer (r(s) = 0.64, p <0.001) and coronary artery disease (r(s) = 0.63, p <0.001) cohorts. Similar positive relations were observed with the baseline brachial artery blood flow velocity and blood flow. In contrast, no relation between the reactive hyperemia-evoked digital PAT ratio and either brachial artery flow-mediated dilation or shear stress was observed in either cohort (p = NS). In conclusion, these findings demonstrate that the digital PAT measures of vascular function more closely reflect basal blood flow in the brachial artery than reactive hyperemia-induced changes in the arterial diameter or flow velocity, and the presence of vascular disease does not modify the physiology underlying the digital PAT phenotype.
