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
backgroundThe role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)-imaging-based pulse wave velocity (PWV) and aortic distensibility (AD) in population-based cohorts as a risk stratification tool remains unclear. The purpose of this study was the CMR-based quantification of PWV and AD in the context of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and/or diseases (CVD) in the Hamburg City Health Study (HCHS).
methodsThe HCHS is a prospective, population-based cohort study. 2D-phase-contrast-flow CMR measurements were performed to quantify PWV and AD in the ascending (AD AoAsc) and descending aorta (AD AoDesc).
resultsThe CMR cohort consisted of 2270 participants (41.5% females, median age 66.5 years). PWV was 5.80 [4.91, 7.19] m/s, AD AoAsc 0.54 [0.34, 0.78] [1/(10^3*kPa)], and AD AoDesc 0.61 [0.39, 0.84] [1/(10^3*kPa)] in participants without any CVRF and/or CVD. In participants with at least one CVRF and/or CVD PWV was significantly higher, AD AoAsc and AD AoDesc significantly lower. After adjustment for age and sex, PWV was significantly associated with smoking (OR 1.05), CAD (OR 0.932), and hypertension (OR 1.118); AD AoAsc with hypertension (OR 0.448); and AD AoDesc with hypertension (OR 0.343), BMI > 30 kg/m
conclusionsThe presence of CVRF and/or CVD is related to significantly higher PWV and lower AD values. However, hypertension is the only CVRF/CVD consistently associated with higher PWV and lower AD after adjustment for age and sex. Our findings do not indicate a predictive value of abnormal PWV and AD values for prevalent CAD and MI.
