Unraveling Changes of Brachial Artery Residual Stress and Its Relationship to Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors.
Article in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2024. 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
Background: Arterial pressure volume index (API) offers a non-invasive measurement of brachial artery residual stress. This study investigated API distribution characteristics and correlations with cardiovascular disease risk (CVD) factors in a large Chinese population sample. Methods: This cross-sectional study surveyed a total of 7620 participants. We analyzed the relationships between API and factors influencing CVD, using regression-based stepwise backward selection and restrictive cubic spline models to express relationships as standardized beta values. Results: Multiple linear regression analysis identified many independent factors influencing API including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), pulse pressure (PP), heart rate (HR), hemoglobin, uric acid (UA), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), triglyceride (TC), and a history of hypertension. Notably, API values increased at 33 and escalated with advancing age. Increases in API were associated with rises in PP and UA increases, particularly when PP reached 60 mmHg and the UA reached 525 units. Conversely, API was found to decrease with elevated HR and eGFR. Furthermore, there was a significant inverted U-shaped relationship between API and BMI. Conclusions: This study was the first to describe API distribution characteristics in a large sample of the Chinese population, providing references for evaluating API changes in the assessment of residual stress variations in diverse diseases. Notably, API displayed a U-shaped relationship with age and was closely related to traditional CVD risk factors, underscoring its potential as a non-invasive tool for risk assessment in vascular health. Clinical Trial Registration: This research was registered with the China Clinical Trial Registration Center (Registration Number: ChiCTR2000035937).
