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
backgroundAn arterial stiffness is an indicator of many cardiovascular diseases. The temporal position of systolic blood pressure (BP) on aorta pulse waveform is assumed to gradually shift on the waveform in response to increasing/decreasing vascular stiffness. The animal model of rats and invasive methods that cannot be used in humans was applied to test the assumption on arterial pulse waveform (APW) of anesthetized rat. The aim of this study was to characterize the temporal movement of diastolic and systolic pressures on the APW of anesthetized rats during increasing/decreasing vascular stiffness.
methodsThe right jugular vein of anesthetized normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats was cannulated for intravascular administration of vascularly active compounds to alter systolic pressure and vascular stiffness. The left carotid artery was cannulated to detect APW, from which numerous APW parameters were evaluated.
resultsDuring increases/decreases in systolic BP or stiffness, the temporal position of diastolic BP of individual heartbeats di-gitally shifted on the APW between two temporal positions ~8-12 ms apart, and the temporal position of systolic BP on the APW did not gradually shift during increases/decreases in vascular stiffness, as expected, but oscillated between constant di-gital, tri-gital, or tetra-gital temporal positions.
conclusionsIntroducing new APW parameters, n-gital systolic BP fluctuations on rat APW were found. Fluctuations in n-gital were approximately constant during large changes in systolic pressure despite significant changes in augmentation index and cardiovascular stiffness, which may challenge the assumption of a gradual temporal location of systolic pressure on rat APW under these conditions.
