Association Between Complete Right Bundle Branch Block and Vascular Endothelial Function.
Article in JACC. Asia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundComplete right bundle branch block (CRBBB) is a common electrocardiographic finding even in healthy people and generally has a good prognosis. However, recent studies have shown that CRBBB is related to arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular risk.
objectivesThis study aimed to assess the association between CRBBB and vascular function.
methodsThis study included a total of 2,313 individuals. After applying the exclusion criteria, 1,308 individuals were included in the final analysis. We evaluated the endothelial function assessed by flow-mediated vasodilation and vascular smooth muscle function assessed by nitroglycerine-induced vasodilation in 55 individuals with CRBBB (34 men; mean age: 62.6 ± 16.6 years) and 1,253 individuals with normal QRS duration (527 men; mean age: 66.6 ± 14.0 years).
resultsFlow-mediated vasodilation was significantly lower in patients with CRBBB than that in those with normal QRS duration (3.2% [1.6%-4.7%] vs 4.6% [2.6%-6.7%]; P < 0.001). In the multivariable analysis, CRBBB was significantly associated with endothelial dysfunction (OR: 1.84; 95% CI: 1.01-3.36; P = 0.047). Although nitroglycerine-induced vasodilation was significantly lower in individuals with CRBBB than in those with normal QRS duration (11.5% [7.9%-14.9%] vs 13.1% [9.6%-17.3%] P = 0.024), no significant association was observed between CRBBB and vascular smooth muscle dysfunction based on the multivariable analysis (OR: 1.09; 95% CI: 0.53-2.22; P = 0.816).
conclusionsCRBBB was shown to be associated with endothelial dysfunction. These findings suggest that CRBBB should not be regarded as a benign electrocardiography finding from a vascular function standpoint (A study of clinical usefulness of vascular function; UMIN000039512).
