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
The score based on the office systolic blood pressure, age, fasting blood glucose level, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (SAGE score) has been proposed as a useful marker to identify elevated values of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV). The present cross-sectional study was conducted to examine whether the SAGE score is also a useful marker to identify subjects with elevated brachial-ankle PWV values in Japanese subjects with hypertension. We measured the brachial-ankle PWV and calculated the SAGE score in a total of 1019 employees of a Japanese company with hypertension and 817 subjects with hypertension derived from a multicenter study cohort. The analyses in this study were based on data from these two study groups as well as on a composite population of the two (n = 1836). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve to identify subjects with brachial-ankle PWV values of ≥1800 cm/s was over 0.70 in each of the three study groups. Even after adjustments, a SAGE score ≥7 had a significant odds ratio for identifying subjects with brachial-ankle PWV values ≥1800 cm/s in the 1836 study subjects from the composite occupational and multicenter study cohort (odds ratio = 2.1, 95% confidence interval = 1.4-3.0, P < 0.01). Thus, in Japanese subjects with hypertension, the SAGE score may be a useful marker for identifying subjects with elevated brachial-ankle PWV values.
