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

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) measured by ultrafast ultrasound imaging can early evaluate arteriosclerosis. The study aimed to establish normal reference range for ufPWV in healthy adults and explore its influencing factors, and evaluate the ufPWV changes on coronary slow flow (CSF). ufPWV at the beginning and end of systole (ufPWV-BS and ufPWV-ES, respectively) was measured in healthy adults (201 cases). CSF was diagnosed based on thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) frame count during coronary angiography. ufPWV-BS and ufPWV-ES were compared between CSF (50 cases) and control groups (50 healthy age-, body mass index-, and blood pressure-matched adults). In healthy adults, average ufPWV-BS and ufPWV-ES was 5.36 ± 1.27 m/s and 6.99 ± 1.93 m/s, respectively. ufPWV-BS and ufPWV-ES positively correlated with age, body mass index, and blood pressure. ufPWV-BS and ufPWV-ES in the CSF group were higher than in the control group (ufPWV-BS, 6.05 ± 1.07 vs. 5.26 ± 0.89 m/s, P < 0.001; ufPWV-ES, 9.07 ± 1.84 vs. 6.84 ± 1.08 m/s, P < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curves showed that ufPWV-ES was more sensitive than ufPWV-BS. The normal reference range of ufPWV for healthy adults was established. Age, body mass index, and blood pressure were the main influencing factors. ufPWV was increased in the patients with CSF. The findings indicated that, in addition to reflecting atherosclerosis, ufPWV might also provide a basis for the noninvasive evaluation of microvascular impairment in the patients with CSF.
