1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Historically, pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been used to measure vascular stiffness, but is limited in its utility when certain vascular disease states are present, such as aneurysm or iliac stenosis. PWV can therefore only provide reliable assessment of global vascular stiffness in limited vascular pathology. Speckle tracking is a method of post-hoc ultrasound image analysis that can measure vascular stiffness in a more comprehensive manner. Evidence from in vitro as well as in vivo studies has validated these techniques in the assessment of strain, distensibility, modulus, and stiffness index (β) in the carotid arterial system. Unfortunately, despite the well-established correlation between vascular stiffness and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, standard vascular laboratory ultrasound protocols do not include stiffness assessment. Herein, we present evidence in favor of integrating speckle tracking into carotid artery duplex protocols to measure vascular stiffness that can be utilized in medical management to modulate cardiovascular risk.
