Association between estimated pulse wave velocity and silent lacunar infarct in a Korean population.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Aims: Previous studies have proposed the estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) as a simple and cost-effective measure of arterial stiffness. Since arterial stiffness plays a role in the progression of silent lacunar infarct (SLI), our present work aims to evaluate the association between ePWV and the presence of SLI. Methods: The present work was based on a cross-section study. Our study included 1,011 neurologically healthy Korean participants. The SLI was evaluated using brain magnetic resonance images (MRI). The ePWV was derived from a published equation using age and mean blood pressure (MBP). Logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the association between ePWV and SLI. The linear relationship and robustness were evaluated using smooth curve fitting and subgroup analyses, respectively. Results: The prevalence of SLI was 11.87%. After fully adjusting for covariates, per 1 m/s increase of ePWV casted 31% additional risk for SLI ( Conclusion: The current study revealed an independent and positive association between ePWV and the presence of SLI in a neurologically healthy Korean population.
