Clusters of vascular aging manifestations predict incident cardiovascular events in the community.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Vascular aging is the accumulation of functional and structural changes of vessels throughout life. While earlier studies have shown that single manifestation of vascular aging is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), it is unknown how the different manifestations of vascular aging cluster at the individual level, and whether individuals with different vascular aging patterns have different risk of progression to overt CVD. Here, we identify three patterns of vascular aging including healthy vascular aging (HVA), arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis. Vascular aging manifestations were evaluated non-invasively by carotid ultrasound methods. The main and the validation analysis were conducted on 8360 and 2086 participants in two separate prospective cohorts. We find that arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis compared to HVA clusters are independent predictors of CVD, and improve risk stratification for stroke among those at intermediate risk. Vascular aging evaluation may help identify those at increased risk of CVD.
