Augmentation index and pulse wave velocity in normotensive versus preeclamptic pregnancies: a prospective case-control study using a new oscillometric method.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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 objective of this study was to investigate whether oscillometric AS measurements are different in pregnant women with and without preeclampsia (PE). STUDY
designThis was a prospective case-control study in singleton pregnancies that had been diagnosed with PE (
main outcome measuresPulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index (Alx), and Alx at a heart rate of 75 beats per minute (Alx-75) were measured using a brachial cuff-based automatic oscillometric device (Mobil-O-Graph 24 h PWA).
resultsIn pregnancies complicated by PE, in comparison with normotensive pregnancies, there were significant differences in PWV (
conclusionsPWV and Alx-75 are higher in pregnancies complicated by PE, in comparison with normotensive pregnancies, as well as in early-onset PE, in comparison with late-onset PE.Key messagesPulse wave velocity is higher in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia.Augmentation index at a heart rate of 75 beats per minute is higher in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia.Arterial stiffness assessment is a promising risk-stratification tool for future cardiovascular complications but further studies are required.
