Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity and prognosis in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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 has been suggested as an independent cardiovascular risk factor. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify the association between brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and prognosis in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) patients. The PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for cohort studies examining the association of high baPWV with prognosis in ASCVD patients. High baPWV was defined by the cutoffs provided by each study. The outcomes of interest were cardiovascular events, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were combined using the random-effects model with inverse variance weighting. We identified 15 studies that were eligible for inclusion in the meta-analysis. The overall HRs and 95% CIs of cardiovascular events, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality for high baPWV were 2.55 (1.61-4.03), 2.66 (1.88-3.76), and 1.77 (1.09-2.87), respectively. The association between baPWV and cardiovascular events remained significant, irrespective of determination methods for cutoffs of baPWV, classification of ASCVD, outcome definitions, Newcastle-Ottawa Scale score and average age, independent of age and hypertension. Significantly higher HRs were observed in the subgroups of >3 years follow-up duration (p for interaction: 0.04), cutoff points by ROC curves (p for interaction: 0.04) and an average age of <65 years (p for interaction: 0.01). A 1 standard deviation increase in baPWV was associated with a 1.41-fold (1.24-1.60) increase in the risk of cardiovascular events. High baPWV is independently associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality in ASCVD patients.
