Association between lipid profiles and arterial stiffness: A secondary analysis based on a cross-sectional study.

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
objectivesThe relationship between lipid levels and arterial stiffness remains controversial. Therefore, we aimed to determine the relationship between lipid profiles and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) as an indicator of arterial stiffness.
methodsA total of 909 participants aged 24 to 84 years were stratified into four baPWV quartiles in our study. Serum lipids, baPWV, and other variables of the participants were measured. Univariable and multivariable linear regression analyses were used to examine the relationships between lipid parameters and baPWV.
resultsThe highest baPWV quartile group had higher aspartate transaminase, alanine aminotransferase, plasma glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and maximum ankle-brachial index, and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate. Univariate regression analysis showed that total cholesterol, TG, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were positively related and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were negatively related to baPWV. After adjusting for age, body mass index, smoking status, aspartate transaminase, alanine aminotransferase, plasma glucose, and estimated glomerular filtration rate, only TG levels were correlated with baPWV (β = 0.075).
conclusionsFour lipid variates are associated with arterial stiffness, and TG levels are positively related to arterial stiffness, independent of cardiovascular risks and liver function.
