The usefulness of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity in predicting long-term cardiovascular events in younger patients.

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
Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is known as a significant predictor of cardiovascular events. However, the previous studies have not considered age, which can affect the baPWV value. We evaluated the predictive value of baPWV for cardiovascular events in various age groups. From January 2005 to December 2012, all patients admitted to our department with any cardiovascular disease and underwent ankle-brachial index (ABI) measurement were enrolled in the IMPACT-ABI registry. The primary endpoints included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke). Of the 3131 patients enrolled, 2554 were included in the analysis, whereas 577 were excluded due to missing baPWV data, ABI ≤0.9 and/or >1.4, and the previous endovascular therapy and/or surgical treatment for peripheral artery disease. Patients were divided according to age 30-59 years (n = 580), 60-69 years (n = 730), 70-79 years (n = 862), and ≥80 years (n = 330). The cumulative incidence of MACE through 5 year was significantly higher in the high baPWV group (>1644 cm/s) than in the low baPWV group (≤1644 cm/s; 8.7 vs. 4.6%; log-rank: p < 0.001). However, among the age groups, only the 30-59-year group showed a significant difference in MACE incidence between those with high and low baPWV (7.0 vs. 0.9%; log-rank: p = 0.001). In conclusion, the baPWV could serve as a useful marker to predict cardiovascular events, particularly among younger patients.
