Impact of arterial location, pressure wave indicators, and measurement devices on arterial form factor and mean and central arterial pressure.
Article in Journal of human hypertension, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is often estimated from cuff systolic (S) and diastolic (D) blood pressure (BP) using a fixed arterial form factor (FF, usually 0.33). If MAP is measured directly, a true FF can be calculated: FF = [MAP-DBP]/[SBP-DBP]. Because waveform shapes vary, true FF should also vary and MAP accuracy will be affected. We studied factors affecting FF using radial tonography (SphygmoCor, n = 376) or brachial oscillometry (Mobil-O-Graph, n = 157) and to compare devices, 101 pairs were matched precisely for SBP and DBP. SphygmoCor brachioradial FF correlated strongly with central FF (r
