1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Acute psychological stress may contribute to cardiovascular disease risk through transient vascular dysfunction. In a randomized crossover study of healthy young adults, the Trier Social Stress Task increased brachial-femoral pulse wave velocity compared with a neutral time- and speech-matched control condition. Using an experimental design and statistical approach that addressed limitations identified in prior studies, these findings support meta-analytic evidence and suggest that transient arterial stiffening may represent a mechanism linking repeated stress exposure to long-term cardiovascular risk.
