Orthostatic responses to anticholinesterase inhibition in spinal cord injury.
Trial report in Clinical autonomic research : official journal of the Clinical Autonomic Research Society, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03602014 (Dose Response to the Norepinephrine Precursor Droxidopa in Hypotensive Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.

Abstract
introductionAcetylcholine (Ach) is the pre-synaptic neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nervous system. Increased pre-synaptic Ach may augment post-synaptic release of norepinephrine, thereby increasing systemic blood pressure (BP).
objectivesThe primary objective of this investigation was to determine the hemodynamic effect of pyridostigmine bromide (PYRIDO: 60 mg), an Ach inhibitor (AchI), compared to no-drug (NO-D) during head-up tilt (HUT) in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Secondarily, we aimed to determine the effects of PYRIDO compared to NO-D on symptoms of orthostatic intolerance (OI) and adverse event reporting (AE).
methodsTen individuals with SCI (C4-C7) were studied on two occasions: visit (1) NO-D and visit (2) PYRIDO. On each visit subjects underwent a progressive HUT maneuver to 15°, 25°, 35° for 5 min at each angle and 45 min at 45°. Supine and orthostatic heart rate (HR), systolic and diastolic BP (SBP and DBP), as well as monitored and symptoms of OI and AE were monitored and recorded.
resultsSupine hemodynamics did not differ between the trials. The significant fall in SBP during the NO-D trial was diminished with PYRIDO, and five subjects had an increased DBP during HUT with PYRIDO compared to the NO-D trial. Individuals that responded to PYRIDO with an increase in orthostatic BP had significantly lower resting HR than non-responders (p < 0.01), which suggests increased levels of pre-synaptic Ach. Subjective symptoms of OI and AE reporting did not differ between the two trials.
conclusionsThese preliminary data suggest that PYRIDO is safe and may be effective at ameliorating the orthostatic fall in BP in select individuals with SCI.
