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

Ex vivo characterisation of arterial biomechanics enables detailed discrimination of the various cellular and extracellular contributions to arterial stiffness. However, ex vivo biomechanical studies are commonly performed under quasi-static conditions, whereas dynamic biomechanical behaviour (as relevant in vivo) may differ substantially. Hence, we aim to (1) develop an integrated set-up for quasi-static and dynamic biaxial biomechanical testing, (2) quantify set-up reproducibility, and (3) illustrate the differences in measured arterial stiffness between quasi-static and dynamic conditions. Twenty-two mouse carotid arteries were mounted between glass micropipettes and kept fully vasodilated. While recording pressure, axial force (F), and inner diameter, arteries were exposed to (1) quasi-static pressure inflation from 0 to 200 mmHg; (2) 300 bpm dynamic pressure inflation (peaking at 80/120/160 mmHg); and (3) axial stretch (λ
