Pulse wave velocity is elevated in people with serious mental illness with vascular age advanced in two-thirds of individuals.

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
Introduction: People with serious mental illness (SMI) have a higher than average cardiovascular event rate/shortened life expectancy by up to 20 years. The higher incidence of cardiovascular events is not sufficiently accounted for by traditional risk factors. It has been established that aortic stiffness assessed with pulse wave velocity (PWV) correlates with vascular inflammation/increased risk for cardiovascular events. Methods: We measured PWV/central blood pressure by photoplethysmography in 15 long-term psychiatry inpatients on a specialist inpatient ward, during a 5-min period of rest with the pOpmètre. The pOpmètre is a class IIa medical device, noninvasive and nonoperator dependent. Results: Mean age was 59.2 years (range: 26-79 years). Mean body (SD) BMI was 33.1 (7.7) kg/m Conclusion: We describe differences in major arterial vessel health that may account for some of the excess cardiovascular event rate/excess mortality in people with SMI.
