Abnormal orthostatic blood pressure control among subjects with lacunar infarction.
Article in European stroke journal, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionHypertension is a recognised risk factor for lacunar stroke. However, their association has been evaluated using static blood pressure (BP) assessment in supine or sitting position alone. We hypothesised that impaired dynamic (orthostatic) BP control may associate with lacunar strokes. PATIENTS AND
methodsConsecutive subjects with mitral regurgitation (MR) confirmed, lacunar strokes were compared with two control groups. Firstly "normal", age and sex matched, population controls (1:3 ratio) and then 'at risk' controls matched for age, sex, hypertension history and antihypertensive medication (1:2 ratio). Orthostatic BP control was assessed by active stand tests with continuous, phasic, beat-to-beat BP measurement.
findingsThirty-six subjects (mean 69.9 years) were compared with 108 controls in group 1 and 72 in group 2. Prevalence of syncope was higher among those with lacunar stroke (cases: 44.4%, group 1: 17.6%, DISCUSSION AND
conclusionSubjects with MR-defined lacunar stroke, of likely small vessel aetiology, exhibit orthostatic hypertension compared with population norms.
