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

objectiveTo assess brachial artery distensibility and associated factors in healthy primigravidas.

methodsWe assessed brachial artery distensibility using the DynaPulse 5,000A in 37 women each trimester, and 6-8 weeks and 1-5 years postpartum. Associations with physical and cardiometabolic measures were considered.

resultsMean (SE) brachial artery distensibility (%Δ/mmHg) decreased (stiffened) from 7.50 (0.20) 12-14 weeks to 6.93 (0.22) 36-38 weeks (p < .01) and returned to baseline 7.52 (0.44) at 2.7 years postpartum. Weight gain and greater cardiac output were significantly related to greater stiffness.

conclusionIncreased weight and cardiac output of pregnancy were associated with brachial artery stiffening.
