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

Introduction: Abnormal inter arm systolic blood pressure, inter leg systolic blood pressure and ankle brachial index (ABI) are related to vascular diseases. Our aim was to evaluate the correlation of inter arm systolic blood pressure difference (IASBPD), inter leg systolic blood pressure difference (ILSBPD), and ABI with acute aortic dissection (AAD) and their role in predicting AAD. Methods: In this prospective case-control study, 180 patients with AAD admitted to the emergency department were prospectively and consecutively collected in Tongji Hospital from October 2019 to December 2020. 180 healthy people matched by sex, age and BMI served as control group. All participants were adults over 18 years of age who underwent four-limb blood pressure measurements. IASBPD, ILSBPD and ABI were compared between the two groups and their associations with AAD were analyzed. Results: A total of 360 patients (180 cases and 180 controls) were analyzed. In case group IASBPD was larger [(15.23 Conclusions: Compared with healthy people, IASBPD and ILSBPD levels were higher and ABI levels were lower in patients with AAD. IASBPD
