Approaches for non-invasive assessment of endothelial function: focus on peripheral arterial tonometry.
Article in Netherlands heart journal : monthly journal of the Netherlands Society of Cardiology and the Netherlands Heart Foundation, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
The arterial endothelium is a complex organ that modulates vascular tone by release of various substances to control perfusion. Endothelial function reflects vascular ageing and health. Already at the earliest stages of atherosclerosis the delicate balance between arterial constriction and relaxation is disturbed. Therefore, non-invasive assessment of endothelial function is a means to identify patients at increased cardiovascular risk, even at levels of disease that cannot be identified with classical imaging techniques that depict arterial wall and/or lumen or with functional assessment of ischaemia. Currently, there is an increasing interest in the early recognition of endothelial dysfunction to streamline and optimise preventive therapeutic measures. In this article, several methods for the assessment of endothelial function are briefly reviewed. In particular, we discuss the fast bed-side assessment of endothelial function by the reactive hyperaemia peripheral arterial tonometry (RH-PAT) method.
