Clinical measurements of aortic stiffness and peripheral resistance using a routine echocardiogram.
Article in Physiological reports, 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
Retrospective data for 259 patients is used to calculate aortic stiffness based on a new method which has been previously verified with in-vitro and in-hospital carotid-femoral Pulse Wave Velocity (cfPWV) studies. For this group of patients, it is shown that the greatest variability within the hemodynamic record is the aortic stiffness, followed by the peripheral resistance - both present risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Our research shows that elevated stiffness is observed in both hypotensive and hypertensive patients, while the peripheral resistance increases monotonically with hypertensive grade. Our research also shows that stiffness and resistance decrease with increasing BMI which may indicate secondary causes for the obesity paradox documented in previous studies.
