Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index and Aging: Differences between CAVI and CAVI0.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 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
backgroundCardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and CAVI0 (a mathematical expression derived from CAVI, supposed to be less dependent on blood pressure), can describe arterial stiffness, considering a wide proportion of the arterial tree. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between CAVI, CAVI0 and aging, looking at the differences between the two arterial stiffness indexes.
methodsA total of 191 patients (68 male, mean age 68.3 ± 14.4 years) referred to the Geriatric Ward and Outpatient Clinic at Verona University Hospital were included and underwent a comprehensive clinical evaluation. CAVI and CAVI0 were obtained for each.
resultsCAVI0 steeply rises in the elderly age strata, widening the gap between CAVI and CAVI0. An inverse relationship is evident between CAVI0 and DBP in older patients, and CAVI0 is shown to be dependent on age, DBP and age-DBP interaction (R
conclusionsThe real new findings of our study are that the association between CAVI0 and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is modified by age, whereas the association between CAVI and DBP is not modified by age. From a clinical point of view, these are very important findings, as DBP decreases with aging, affecting in elderly populations the reliability of CAVI0, which strictly depends on DBP in the formula to calculate it. To monitor the effect of CV therapies, progression of CV diseases and to evaluate clinical outcomes in elderly populations, we suggest using CAVI and not CAVI0.
