Advanced vascular aging and outcomes after acute ischemic stroke: 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
Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is as a reliable marker of arterial stiffness and vascular aging, surpassing traditional risk factors in predicting detrimental cardiovascular events. The present meta-analysis aims to investigate PWV thresholds and assess its prognostic value in outcomes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). A search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Scopus for studies published up to January 2024, focusing on patients admitted with AIS, wherein arterial stiffness was assessed through PWV measurements during hospitalization. Identified studies reported PWV values in individuals with both favorable and unfavorable outcomes at the end of follow-up. Initially, 35 eligible studies provided data for weighted mean baPWV (11,953 AIS patients) and cfPWV (2,197 AIS patients) calculations. The average age was 67 years, with approximately 60% male, 67% hypertensive, 30% diabetic and 30% smoker participants. The weighted mean systolic blood pressure was approximately 150 mmHg. In AIS patients, the mean PWV was 10 m/s for standard cfPWV and 20 m/s for baPWV. Nine cohort studies (6,006 AIS patients) were included in the quantitative analysis of clinical outcomes. Higher PWV levels were associated with poorer functional outcomes (2.3 m/s higher, 95%CI:1.2-3.4, p < 0.001; I
