Alcohol and psychotropic drugs: risk factors for orthostatic hypotension in elderly fallers.
Article in Journal of human hypertension, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We assess orthostatic hypotension (OH) prevalence in elderly fallers and determine OH-associated risk factors in this patient population. A monocentric prospective study at Lille University Hospital Falls Clinic included 833 consecutive patients who had fallen or were at high risk of falls and who were assessed for the presence of OH. Among 833 patients aged 80.4±7.4 years, OH was found in 199 subjects (23.9% of cases). Multivariate analysis showed that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (odds ratio (OR) 2.42, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.56-3.75), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (OR 5.37, 95% CI: 1.93-14.97), Parkinsonian syndrome (OR 2.54, 95% CI: 1.54-4.19), excessive alcohol consumption (OR 2.17, 95% CI: 1.32-3.56), meprobamate (OR 2.65, 95% CI: 1.12-6.25) and calcium channel blockers (OR 1.79, 95% CI: 1.16-2.76) were all risk factors for OH. In contrast, angiotensin receptor blockers (OR 0.52, 95% CI: 0.30-0.91) appeared to be protective factors against OH. This study demonstrates that a systematic investigation should be made in all elderly fallers and those at high risk of falls to detect the presence of OH. In OH patients, in addition to the usual predisposing factors, excessive alcohol consumption and psychotropic drug intake-in particular, the intake of serotonergic antidepressants-should be taken into account as potential risk factors.
