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
Bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP9) plays an important role in vascular development and stability. However, the association between circulating BMP9 levels and arterial stiffness (AS) in hypertensive patients is not yet clear. This study enrolled 305 hospitalized patients with hypertension. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was measured, with values ≥1800 cm/s indicating AS. Clinical characteristics and laboratory parameters were collected during hospitalization. Circulating BMP9 levels were measured with an ELISA kit. Multivariable linear regression and stepwise logistic regression analysis were used to assess the relationship between BMP9 and baPWV. A nomogram was constructed to predict AS in hypertensive patients and internally validated using the bootstrap method. Among 305 patients, 97 were diagnosed with AS. Multivariable linear regression analysis revealed that BMP9 was positively correlated with baPWV in hypertensive patients (β = 0.471, p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic stepwise regression analysis showed that age ≥ 60 years old, diabetes mellitus, SBP ≥ 140 mmHg, and higher BMP9 levels were the independent risk factors for hypertensive patients with AS. A nomogram combining these factors showed strong predictive performance (AUC: 0.804, 95% CI: 0.7503-0.8567). The calibration plot performed a good adaptability between prediction and observation (χ
