1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPulse wave velocity (PWV) is a well-established marker for aortic stiffness and may be a prognostic factor in heart failure (HF). This study investigates whether PWV changes as patients transition from acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) to chronic compensated heart failure (CCHF). HYPOTHESIS: Arterial stiffness is related with the development of HF.

methodsRegional PWV was prospectively measured using noninvasive applanation tonometry in consecutive ADHF patients (n = 55). PWV measurements of 45 patients were taken at admission and 3-month follow-up (F/U).

resultsCentral and upper-extremity PWV, but not lower-extremity PWVs, were found to have improved after 3 months compared with the admission PWV (central: 8.73 ± 1.17 vs 8.39 ± 0.99 m/s, P = 0.018; upper extremity: 8.59 ± 0.84 vs 8.33 ± 0.82 m/s, P = 0.028). Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly associated with the change of PWV in HF (odds ratio: 1.037, 95% confidence interval: 1.003-1.071, P = 0.030). In preserved left ventricular ejection fraction patients (n = 26) and ischemic patients (n = 31), central and upper-extremity PWVs improved over the admission PWV at 3-month F/U.

conclusionsThe present results indicate that central and upper-extremity PWVs, but not lower-extremity PWV, are increased in ADHF and improve as patients transition from ADHF to CCHF.
