Comparison between estimated and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity for cardiovascular and overall mortality prediction.

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
Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was a good marker of arterial stiffness and could predict cardiovascular (CV) outcomes. Recently, estimated PWV (ePWV) calculated by equations using age and mean blood pressure was reported to be an independent predictor of major CV events. However, there was no study comparing ePWV with brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV) for CV and overall mortality prediction. We included 881 patients arranged for echocardiographic examination. BaPWV and blood pressures were measured by ankle-brachial index-form device. The median follow-up period to mortality was 94 months. Mortality events were documented during the follow-up period, including CV mortality (n = 66) and overall mortality (n = 184). Both of ePWV and baPWV were associated with increased CV and overall mortality after the multivariable analysis. ePWV had better predictive value than Framingham risk score (FRS) for CV and overall mortality prediction, but baPWV did not. In direct comparison of multivariable analysis using FRS as basic model, ePWV had a superior additive predictive value for CV mortality than baPWV (p = .030), but similar predictive valve for overall mortality as baPWV (p = .540). In conclusion, both ePWV and baPWV were independent predictors for long-term CV and overall mortality in univariable and multivariable analysis. Besides, ePWV had a better additive predictive value for CV mortality than baPWV and similar predictive value for overall mortality as baPWV. Therefore, ePWV obtained without equipment deserved to be calculated for overall mortality prediction and better CV survival prediction.
