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

purposeTo investigate the association between oxygen uptake (V.O2) kinetics and demographic, behavioral, and clinical factors among patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).

methodsA total of 85 PAD patients with intermittent claudication performed a constant load treadmill test, and breath-by-breath (V.e.)O2 was obtained to assess V.O2 kinetics. Demographic information, anthropometry, cardiovascular risk factors, and comorbid conditions were recorded.

resultsUsing univariate analyses, higher values of tau ([τ], i.e., slowed V.O2 kinetics) were associated with female gender, non-Caucasian race, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and age ≤66 years. Smoking, diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, height, and ankle brachial index were not significantly related to V.O2 kinetics. Using multiple regression procedures, the identified predictors of slowed V.O2 kinetics were female gender (4.76 [95% CI: 1.49-8.03] seconds; P = .0049), non-Caucasian race (4.70 [95% CI: 1.29-8.12] seconds; P = .0075), hypertension (12.06 [95% CI: 8.83-15.28] seconds; P < .0001), and age ≤66 years (4.97 [95% CI: 1.95-7.99] seconds; P = .0015).

conclusionsIn PAD patients, slowed V.O2 kinetics are associated with demographic and clinical factors. The clinical significance is that female, non-Caucasian, and hypertensive PAD patients present central and/or peripheral limitations that may partially account for their walking impairment.
