Arterial Compliance Measurement in Overweight and Hypertensive Children.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
objectivesTo investigate the pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (Alx), measures of arterial stiffness, in relation to hypertension and obesity, the main risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
methodsTwo groups of pediatric patients, 31 children and adolescents with hypertension and 85 with overweight, were analysed and compared to the control group (50 healthy individuals). Subjects were sampled by opportunity sampling at the Department of Pediatrics, Maribor. In each patient, blood pressure, anthropometrical parameters and PWV measurements using the applanation tonometry technique were performed.
resultsThere was a significant correlation between PWV and age (r = 0.461, p = 0.001) in the control group, whereas no correlation was obtained between PWV and body mass index (BMI) or central mean arterial pressure (CMAP). In the hypertensive group, PWV only correlated with CMAP (r = 0.496, p = 0.005). A significant correlation was found in the overweight group between PWV and both age and BMI (r = 0.484, p < 0.001 and r = 0.347, p = 0.001, respectively). Alx results were not taken into consideration.
conclusionsThe results of this pilot study show that overweight and hypertensive children and adolescents are associated with less compliant arteries than their healthy peers, which could be used for screening of patients with expected early cardiovascular risk.
