Automated oscillometric blood pressure and pulse-wave acquisition for evaluation of vascular stiffness in atherosclerosis.

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
objectiveEvaluation of diagnostic accuracy of an oscillometry-based device (VascAssist) combining fully automated ankle-brachial index (ABI) and pulse-wave velocity (PWV) assessment for detection of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). SUBJECTS AND
methods110 consecutive subjects including symptomatic PAD patients (n = 41) and healthy PAD-free participants (n = 69) were recruited. All subjects underwent standard manual Doppler-based ABI (sABI) and oscillometry-based automated ABI (aABI) measurements (VascAssist). Oscillometry by the VascAssist included central and peripheral PWV assessment. Additionally, arterial stiffness (AS) was evaluated by flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) of the brachial artery in all patients. All symptomatic PAD patients underwent catheter angiography for endovascular intervention and post-interventional acquisition of sABI, aABI, PWV and FMD.
resultsSensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of aABI for detecting PAD was 73%, 100%, 100%, and 86% as compared to 80%, 96%, 92%, and 89% for sABI. Pearson-correlation for diabetics was r = 0.81; (P < .001) and for non-diabetics r = 0.77; (P < .001). Bland-Altman-analysis revealed a difference (95% CI) for diabetics of 0.09 (-0.22-0.4] and non-diabetics 0.022 [-0.25-0.295]. Weak correlation exists for FMD/AS analysis (pre-interventional R = 0.386, P = .043; post-interventional R = -0.06; P = .76) and significant increase of pre-/post-interventional PWV analysis (P < .001).
conclusionCombined automatic ABI and PWV acquisition with the VascAssist device showed excellent diagnostic accuracy for detection of PAD. Compared to FMD, AS analysis may serve as an investigator-independent (screening) tool for determination of functional vascular damage in atherosclerosis.
