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

Assessment of central blood pressure (BP), pulse wave velocity (PWV), and augmentation index (AIx) measurements may improve cardiovascular risk stratification. This study aimed to establish reference office values for central BP, PWV, and AIx by means of a Mobil-O-Graph PWA monitor and to evaluate the impact of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) on these measurements. We cross-sectionally evaluated clinical characteristics, central BP, PWV, AIx, and peripheral BP measurements among 867 apparently healthy individuals (age = 46.0 ± 15.5 years, 39% males) who were free of obesity, hypertension, active smoking, dyslipidemia, and diabetes (CVRF-No) and 5632 individuals (age = 57.0 ± 14.7 years, 44% males) with at least one of these major CVRFs (CVRF-Yes). Reference values for central BP, PWV, and AIx were provided for the CVRF-No and CVRF-Yes groups, stratified by age and sex. PWV and AIx exhibited curvilinear increases with age, and there was an interaction between age and sex for central systolic BP and PWV in both the CVRF-No and CVRF-Yes groups. The results of a multivariable analysis including the whole sample (n = 6499) showed that obesity had a direct association with central BP, while diabetes was directly related to PWV. In addition, alcohol intake was directly associated with central BP, while performance of physical activity was inversely related to AIx. In conclusion, values of office-measured central BP, PWV, and AIx obtained in an apparently healthy population and in a population with CVRFs are now available according to age and sex and may be useful to build thresholds for use in clinical practice.
