The relationship between cardio-ankle vascular index and subclinical atherosclerosis evaluated by cardiac computed tomographic angiography.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a new noninvasive index to evaluate arterial stiffness. We investigated whether CAVI can predict severity, extent, and burden of coronary artery disease by comparing results with cardiac computed tomographic angiography (CCTA). HYPOTHESIS: CAVI may predict the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis.
methodsWe prospectively enrolled 95 patients (66% male; mean age, 50 ± 16 years) who underwent both CCTA and CAVI consecutively. We evaluated if CAVI correlated with (1) severe stenosis (≥50%); (2) plaque extent, determined by a segment-involvement score (SIS), defined by the total number of coronary artery segments containing any plaque; and (3) plaque burden, determined by a segment-stenosis score (SSS), defined by the extent of obstruction of coronary luminal diameter in individual coronary artery segments.
resultsBivariate analysis showed a statistically significant relationship not only between CAVI and SIS, but also between CAVI and SSS (r
conclusionsWe demonstrated that CAVI had a significant relationship with subclinical coronary atherosclerosis evaluated by CCTA, especially in relation to plaque burden and plaque extent, but not severe stenosis. Thus, CAVI may reflect coronary atherosclerosis burden more than severity.
