Association between arterial stiffness, stress and depression among undergraduate medical students in India.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. 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
Arterial stiffness independently predicts cardiovascular events, with psychological factors potentially contributing to early vascular alterations in young populations. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate of 153 undergraduate medical students to examine relationships between psychological stress, depression and arterial stiffness measures (brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, brachial-ankle stiffness index and ankle-brachial index) assessed via Beck's Depression Inventory and Perceived Stress Scale. Our findings revealed mild depression in 92.2% and mild stress in 83.7% of participants, demonstrating significant associations between depression scores and average baPWV (r=0.028, p=0.030), CFPWV (r=0.030, p=0.015), average BASI (r=0.085, p=0.029) and average ABI (r=0.333, p<0.001). Thus, we show that psychological screening tools may function as early cardiovascular risk markers, supporting implementation of comprehensive mental health and cardiovascular prevention initiatives for medical students.
