Comparing oscillometric and tonometric methods to assess pulse wave velocity: a population-based study.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundOscillometric pulse wave velocity (o-PWV) represents an attractive, non invasive and non operator-dependent method to estimate arterial stiffness. Tonometric carotid-femoral measurements (cf-PWV),are considered the gold-standard for non-invasive aortic stiffness assessment. To date, no studies in the general population comparing the two methods have been performed. METHODS AND
results1162 subjects were analysed. O-PWV and cf-PWV showed a mean difference of -0.31 m/sec(
conclusionsOscillometric PWV estimates provide reliable values in the general population. An o-PWV tendency to underestimate arterial stiffness in younger subjects and in subjects with diseases known to increase arterial stiffness and to overestimate it with increasing age was found, even if scarcely relevant in clinical perspective. Overall the present findings underline an acceptable and satisfactory agreement between oscillometric and tonometric methods for the PWV assessment. KEY MESSAGES Oscillometric and tonometric PWV estimates showed a good and satisfactory agreement in the general population, above all in subjects without cardiovascular risk factors or a documented vascular damage. In comparison with tonometric values, oscillometric PWV estimates showed, however, the tendency to underestimate arterial stiffness in younger subjects and to overestimate it with increasing age, while diverging when diseases known to increase arterial stiffness are present. The magnitude of differences in PWV estimates between tonometric and oscillometric methods found in the general population appears most likely not to be significant in everyday clinical practice.
