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

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the clinical implications of vascular aging (VAg) phenotypes based on the difference between chronological age (CA) and vascular age (VA). Patients and Methods: We defined VA as the predicted age in a multivariable linear regression model including structural and functional parameters of arteries and conventional risk factors, in a multicentric, cross-sectional cohort (n=15580). According to the 10 Results: In the prospective cohort (11.07 years, 927 events), when compared to the Normal VAg phenotype, EVA had an increased risk (HR: 2.43; 95% CI: 1.80-3.27) and SUPERNOVA had a decrease risk (HR: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.64-0.90) of adverse clinical outcomes, in particular stroke events. EVA also showed a higher risk of myocardial infarction (HR: 3.21, 95% CI: 1.56-6.62) and all-cause death (HR: 1.79, 95% CI: 1.12-2.85). The associations were independent of the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk score. Further, the C-statistics increased 0.010 ( Conclusion: This is the first study to evaluate the clinical implications of VAg phenotypes using multicentric data and undergone external validation in China. Our results emphasized that the classification of VAg phenotypes may be a potential tool to identify individuals who were susceptible to or resilient to VAg.
