1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionThe association between arterial parameters and blood pressure (BP) interindividual variations could depend on the arterial segment, BP component (systolic, SBP; diastolic, DBP; pulse pressure, PP) and/or on whether central (cBP) or peripheral (pBP) BP variations are considered.

aimTo assess and compare arterial parameters variations associated with interindividual variations in cBP and pBP.

methodsHealthy subjects (n = 923; 488 males, 2-84 years) were included. pBP and cBP waves were obtained (Mobil-O-Graph; SphygmoCor). Arterial diameter, intima-media thickness, local elastic modulus (carotid, CEM; brachial, BEM; femoral, FEM) and regional (carotid-radial and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity; crPWV and cfPWV) arterial stiffness were determined. Associations between BP and arterial parameters interindividual variations were analyzed and compared (correlations; linear regressions; slopes comparisons) considering data transformed into z-scores.

resultsGiven a variation in z-cSBP or z-pSBP, z-CEM, z-FEM and z-cfPWV (stiffness indexes), were among the parameters with major BP-associated variations. z-crPWV and z-cfPWV, rather than local stiffness indexes were the parameters with major variations associated with z-DBP variations. z-cPP or z-pPP were associated with z-CEM and z-FEM variations, but not with brachial or regional stiffness variations. Most of the arterial parameters-BP slopes did not show significant differences when considering a variation in z-cSBP and z-pSBP. z-CEM and z-FEM were mainly associated with z-cPP and z-pPP variations, respectively.

conclusionDisregard of age and sex, the variations in arterial parameters associated with BP interindividual variations showed differences depending on whether variations were central or peripheral; in SBP, DBP or PP and depending on the arterial segment considered.
