Predictive value of brachial-ankle artery pulse wave velocity to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in hospitalised patients with acute dyspnoea.

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
objectiveTo explore the predictive value of the brachial-ankle artery pulse wave velocity (baPWV) for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
methodsEchocardiographic data, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level, and baPWV were assessed in 111 consecutive patients admitted for acute dyspnea. The patients were divided into the HFpEF group (n=71) and the control group (n=40).
resultsMultivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that the ratio of the early mitral inflow velocity to the tissue Doppler velocity (E/e') at the lateral mitral annulus, BNP, and baPWV were independently predictive of HFpEF. Adding the baPWV to E/e' at the lateral annulus and to the BNP resulted in an increase in the area under the curve (AUC) to 0.855 (vs. lateral E/e' alone, P=0.02) or 0.880 (vs. BNP alone, P=0.02), respectively. The AUC of the three combining indicators including the lateral E/e', BNP, and baPWV was 0.910 (vs. E/e' lateral alone, P<0.001; vs. BNP alone, P=0.001). The diagnostic accuracy was improved significantly after adding the baPWV to the diagnostic criteria of the 2007 ESC consensus statement (net reclassification improvement 0.127, P=0.02).
conclusionsAdding the baPWV to the current diagnostic indicators of the 2007 ESC consensus statement could increase the accuracy of predicting HFpEF.
