Associations between arterial elasticity and markers of inflammation in healthy older women.

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 purpose of this investigation was to examine the associations between circulating markers of inflammation and arterial elasticity in healthy older women. Participants were 50 women older than 60 years of age, body mass index 27 ± 4, and physically untrained. Large artery elasticity, small artery elasticity, systemic vascular resistance, total vascular impedance, estimated cardiac output, and estimated cardiac index were determined using pulse contour analysis. Serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α, C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin 6 were assessed. Results from Pearson's correlation revealed that tumor necrosis factor-α was inversely associated with large artery elasticity (-.426, p < .01) and estimated cardiac index (-.324, p < .05) and positively associated with systemic vascular resistance (.386, p < .01) and total vascular impedance (.416, p < .01). Additionally, C-reactive protein was inversely associated with large artery elasticity (-.308, p < .01). The overall implication was that tumor necrosis factor-α and C-reactive protein appear to be critical inflammatory cytokines associated with reductions in arterial elasticity in older women.
