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

As far back as the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, physicians have observed and interpreted the arterial pulse to diagnose disease. In the last 20 years, advances in modern engineering have rendered quantitative pulse wave analysis widely available, reliable, and reproducible. To date, measurement of arterial stiffness has remained almost exclusively a research activity. However, ongoing technological improvements coupled with already strong and growing evidence of clinical value should facilitate integration of arterial stiffness measures into clinical practice in the near future. This brief review will highlight clinical areas where arterial stiffness measures are likely to be the most informative in clinical practice.
