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

Aging affects the cardiovascular system, and this process may be accelerated in individuals with cardiovascular risk factors. The main vascular changes include arterial wall thickening, calcification, and stiffening, together with aortic dilatation and elongation. With aging, we can observe left ventricular hypertrophy with myocardial fibrosis and left atrial dilatation. These changes may lead to heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Using multimodality imaging, including ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging, it is possible to detect these changes. Additionally, multimodality imaging, mainly via CT measurements of coronary artery calcium or ultrasound carotid intima-media thickness, enables advanced cardiovascular risk stratification and helps in decision-making about preventive strategies. The focus of this manuscript is to briefly review cardiovascular changes that occur with aging, as well as to describe how multimodality imaging may be used for the assessment of these changes and risk stratification of asymptomatic individuals.
