The location of the human volume indifferent point predicts orthostatic tolerance.

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
The volume indifferent point (VIP) is the point within the circulation where blood volume does not change with changes in posture. Because both volume and pressure are unaffected by posture at this point, its location should dictate the filling gradient to the heart. Previously we identified a contribution of the splanchnic circulation to its location. We experimentally manipulated blood volume in the splanchnic region to quantify changes in the VIP. Furthermore, we determined the relationship between the VIP and an individual's tolerance to an orthostatic stress. In Protocol 1, we found that administration of the somatostatin analog octreotide acetate, which elicits relatively selective splanchnic vasoconstriction, induced a superior shift in the VIP (+1.9 +/- 3.3 cm, P = 0.03). This finding corroborates previous reports of improvements in tilt tolerance after octreotide and suggests it might be related to relocation of the VIP. In Protocol 2, application of -20 mmHg lower body negative pressure (LBNP) induced splanchnic pooling and moved the VIP inferiorly (-6.0 +/- 7.2 cm, P < 0.01). LBNP combined with head-up tilt significantly decreased tilt tolerance (median tilt time: 28.0 vs. 4.2 min; Chi (2) = 14.29, P < 0.01); the change in the VIP predicted the reduction in tilt time (Deltatilt time = 3.05 + 0.12 DeltaVIP, P = 0.03). Thus, individuals with the largest inferior shift in the VIP also demonstrated the largest decrease in tilt table tolerance. We conclude that the splanchnic circulation plays an important role in determining the location of the VIP and the location of the VIP is a determinant of tolerance to orthostatic stress.
