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

Lower body negative pressure (LBNP) is a method derived from space medicine, which in recent years has been increasingly used by clinicians to assess the efficiency of the cardiovascular regulatory mechanisms. LBNP with combined tilt testing is considered as an effective form of training to prevent orthostatic intolerance. We have developed a prototype system comprising a tilt table and LBNP chamber, and tested it in the context of the feasibility of the device for assessing the pilots' efficiency. The table allows for controlled tilting in the range from -45 to +80° at the maximum change rate of 45°/s. The LBNP value can smoothly be adjusted down to -100 mmHg at up to 20 mmHg/s. 17 subjects took part in the pilot study. A 24-minute scenario included -100 mmHg supine LBNP, head up tilt (HUT) and -60 mmHg LBNP associated with HUT, separated by resting phases. The most noticeable changes were observed in stroke volume (SV). During supine LBNP, HUT and the combined stimulus, a decrease of the SV value by 20%, 40% and below 50%, respectively, were detected. The proposed system can map any pre-programed tilt and LBNP profiles, and the pilot study confirmed the efficiency of performing experimental procedures.
