Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity, Ankle-Brachial Index, and Malondialdehyde in Older Adults with or without Metabolic Syndrome.

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
Metabolic syndrome is an important health problem associated with both subclinical atherosclerosis and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and it leads to an elevated total mortality. Aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) is widely used for noninvasive assessment of arterial stiffness. Ankle-brachial index (ABI) predicts peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of the lower extremities. In addition, malondialdehyde (MDA) is thought to be involved in the development of arterial stiffness. The present study aimed to: (1) compare aPWV, ABI, and MDA between participants with MetS and those without MetS and (2) investigate the correlation of aPWV and ABI with the components of MetS and MDA. A total of 48 Thai elderly subjects were divided into 2 groups (MetS and non-MetS) according to the parameters set by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). aPWV and ABI were measured using the VaSera VS-1500 system (Fukuda Denshi Co., Tokyo, Japan). MDA was determined by spectrophotometry. aPWV and MDA were significantly higher in the MetS group compared to the participants in the non-MetS group (9.33 ± 2.72 vs. 7.95 ± 1.37 m/s,
