Coefficients in the CAVI Equation and the Comparison Between CAVI With and Without the Coefficients Using Clinical Data.
Article in Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers.
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
aimThe Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) is a stiffness index of the arterial tree from the origin of the aorta to the ankle, independent of blood pressure at the time of measurement. The CAVI equation includes the coefficients "a" and "b" to adjust it to the value of Hasegawa's pulse wave velocity, which is compensated for at 80 mmHg of diastolic pressure. To verify this adjustment with the coefficients, the clinical significance of CAVI and CAVI without the coefficients (haβ) were compared in both an epidemiological study and an acute clinical study.
methodsIn the epidemiological study, the significances of CAVI and haβ among people with or without coronary risks such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and abnormal electrocardiography change, were compared. In the acute clinical study, nitroglycerin was administered to subjects in a control group and to coronary artery disease patients, observing CAVI and haβ values over a 20-min period.
resultsThere was no discrepancy in terms of statistically significant differences between CAVI and haβ among subjects with or without risk factors. Furthermore, there was also no discrepancy in terms of statistically significant differences between CAVI and haβ during the changes of those values following nitroglycerin administration over a 20-min period.
conclusionIn both the epidemiologic and clinical studies, there was no discrepancy in terms of significant differences between CAVI and haβ. These results suggest that both are valid as indices of stiffness of the arterial tree from the origin of the aorta to the ankle.
