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: It is not well-known which indicator, central blood pressure (CBP) or arterial stiffness, has a greater impact on carotid atherosclerosis. This study aimed to assess the associations of carotid atherosclerosis with arterial stiffness and CBP in the same individuals. Methods: A total of 142 patients (mean age: 69 years; 43% female) with documented atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or multiple risk factors were analyzed. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and CBP measurements, along with carotid ultrasound, were performed on the same day. CBP was assessed using radial artery tonometry. Results: In simple linear regression analysis, only baPWV exhibited a significant correlation with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) ( Conclusions: Among a high-risk Korean population, baPWV demonstrated a stronger association with carotid plaque presence and extent compared to CBP parameters. Thus, baPWV may serve as a valuable marker for identifying carotid plaque.
