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

Background: We investigated the prevalence and correlates of arterial stiffness in treated hypertension using oscillometric pulse wave analysis during 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Methods: In this single-center cross-sectional study, 131 patients (median age 51.0 years, range 17.0-86.0; 54.2% female) underwent 24-h ABPM. Measurements included 24-h, daytime, and night-time SBP, DBP, MAP, pulse pressure, dipping status, and estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) derived by the Mobil-O-Graph (ARCSolver; age/SBP-dependent). Results: High ePWV (> 9 m/s) was present in 16.8% of patients. Compared with low/moderate ePWV, the high-ePWV subgroup was older ( Conclusion: Elevated ePWV identifies a high-risk phenotype in treated hypertension, characterized by advanced age and renal impairment. However, these associations appear intrinsic to the algorithm's reliance on age and SBP. After adjusting for these inputs, ePWV did not exhibit independent associations with clinical parameters, suggesting it should be viewed as an integrated derivative of age and blood pressure rather than a separate physiological measure. ePWV values should be interpreted with caution, recognizing their inherent dependence on algorithmic inputs.
