Pulse wave and vector flow Imaging for atherosclerotic disease progression in hypercholesterolemic swine.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. 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
Non-invasive monitoring of atherosclerosis remains challenging. Pulse Wave Imaging (PWI) is a non-invasive technique to measure the local stiffness at diastolic and end-systolic pressures and quantify the hemodynamics. The objective of this study is twofold, namely (1) to investigate the capability of (adaptive) PWI to assess progressive change in local stiffness and homogeneity of the carotid in a high-cholesterol swine model and (2) to assess the ability of PWI to monitor the change in hemodynamics and a corresponding change in stiffness. Nine (n=9) hypercholesterolemic swine were included in this study and followed for up to 9 months. A ligation in the left carotid was used to cause a hemodynamic disturbance. The carotids with detectable hemodynamic disturbance showed a reduction in wall shear stress immediately after ligation (2.12 ± 0.49 to 0.98 ± 0.47 Pa for 40-90% ligation (Group B) and 1.82 ± 0.25 to 0.49 ± 0.46 Pa for >90% ligation (Group C)). Histology revealed subsequent lesion formation after 8-9 months, and the type of lesion formation was dependent on the type of the induced ligation, with more complex plaques observed in the carotids with a more significant ligation (C: >90%). The compliance progression appears differed for groups B and C, with an increase in compliance to 2.09 ± 2.90×10
