Arterial Stiffness and Hypertension - Which Comes First?
Article in Maedica, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Arterial hypertension is one of the traditional risk factors involved in the development of cardiovascular events, while arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease in patients with hypertension. It seems that the risk factors involved in the pathology of uncontrolled hypertension are similar to those that contribute to the development of arterial stiffness. After evidence showed that arterial stiffness is an independent prognostic factor for the occurrence of cardiovascular events in patients with arterial hypertension, the importance of assessing arterial stiffness was recognized in a document drafted by the European Society of Hypertension in 2007. Many factors, some still insufficiently studied, are involved in the development and worsening of arterial stiffness, especially in patients with certain comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease). The evaluation of pulse wave velocity (PWV) remains the gold standard for non-invasive assessment of arterial stiffness. It seems that changes in terms of lifestyle and drug therapy have some positive effects on improving arterial stiffness, but further studies are needed to prove this concept. Our review aims to highlight the novelty of the mechanisms, the assessment methods, some of the clinical aspects, as well as the therapeutic implications of arterial stiffness, especially in patients with hypertension.
