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

We examined the between-day reproducibility of active (squat-stand maneuvers)- and passive [oscillatory lower-body negative pressure (OLBNP) maneuvers]-driven oscillations in blood pressure. These relationships were examined in both younger (n = 10; 25 ± 3 yr) and older (n = 9; 66 ± 4 yr) adults. Each testing protocol incorporated rest (5 min), followed by driven maneuvers at 0.05 (5 min) and 0.10 (5 min) Hz to increase blood-pressure variability and improve assessment of the pressure-flow dynamics using linear transfer function analysis. Beat-to-beat blood pressure, middle cerebral artery velocity, and end-tidal partial pressure of CO2 were monitored. The pressure-flow relationship was quantified in the very low (0.02-0.07 Hz) and low (0.07-0.20 Hz) frequencies (LF; spontaneous data) and at 0.05 and 0.10 Hz (driven maneuvers point estimates). Although there were no between-age differences, very few spontaneous and OLBNP transfer function metrics met the criteria for acceptable reproducibility, as reflected in a between-day, within-subject coefficient of variation (CoV) of <20%. Combined CoV data consist of LF coherence (15.1 ± 12.2%), LF gain (15.1 ± 12.2%), and LF normalized gain (18.5 ± 10.9%); OLBNP data consist of 0.05 (12.1 ± 15.%) and 0.10 (4.7 ± 7.8%) Hz coherence. In contrast, the squat-stand maneuvers revealed that all metrics (coherence: 0.6 ± 0.5 and 0.3 ± 0.5%; gain: 17.4 ± 12.3 and 12.7 ± 11.0%; normalized gain: 16.7 ± 10.9 and 15.7 ± 11.0%; and phase: 11.6 ± 10.2 and 17.3 ± 10.8%) at 0.05 and 0.10 Hz, respectively, were considered biologically acceptable for reproducibility. These findings have important implications for the reliable assessment and interpretation of cerebral pressure-flow dynamics in humans.
