Association of BMI Grading with Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity and Augmentation Index in a Population of West India.
Review in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: BMI is graded differently in Asians, and its association with pulse wave analysis (PWA) based arterial stiffness (AS) parameters are unknown in the Indian population. We studied these AS parameters in relation to BMI grading as per ESI (Endocrine Society of India) for association, if any. Methodology: This is a secondary pooled analysis of previously published data of normal (n=1186), diabetics (n=328), hypertensives(n=309), and diabetic hypertensives(n=401). Oscillometric PWA (Mobil-o-graph, IEM, Germany) was used to derive aortic BP (aBP), aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV), augmentation index (AIx), and reflection %. All participants in each group were divided into BMI-based subgroups as per the ESI criteria for Indians. PWA parameters were compared among BMI-based subgroups in each of the four study groups. Results: Aortic pressures, AIx, aPWV, and Ref% were significantly associated with BMI grading only in the normal subgroup and not in the other three groups with at least one of either diabetes or hypertension. In the multivariate linear regression model, BMI-based grading was not associated with aPWV or AIx after adjusting for gender, age, mean blood pressure, heart rate, and presence of diabetes and/or hypertension. Conclusion: It suggests arterial stiffness to be a poorly BMI-dependent parameter and calls for more studies for its consolidation.
