Evaluation of aortic stiffness by a new simplified 2D speckle tracking analysis.

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 stiffness is a marker of cardiovascular damage and an independent predictor of major cardiovascular events, usually assessed via Carotid-Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity (cfPWV). The aim of this study was to test the feasibility and usefulness of aortic strain analysis using a simplified transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) speckle-tracking (ST) based method. 60 consecutive patients with normal blood pressure and aortic dimensions underwent TTE and cfPWV evaluation. Strain analysis was performed on the largest section of the ascending aorta (aA) with a dedicated software; three couples of speckles were identified within the anterior and posterior aortic wall and transverse segments connecting each couple traced. Peak ascending Aorta Strain (PaAS) was defined as the averaged peak percentage deformation of these segments during the cardiac cycle; aortic stiffness index β
