Orthostatic Hypotension Following Cervical Spine Surgery: Prevalence and Risk Factors.
Article in Global spine journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
STUDY
designRetrospective case series.
objectivesThis study aims to determine the prevalence and risk factors for orthostatic hypotension (OH) in patients undergoing cervical spine surgery.
methodsData was collected from records of 190 consecutive patients who underwent cervical spine procedures at our center over 24 months. Statistical comparison was made between patients who developed postoperative OH and those who did not by analyzing characteristics such as age, gender, premorbid medical comorbidities, functional status, mechanism of spinal cord injury, preoperative neurological function, surgical approach, estimated blood loss, and length of stay.
resultsTwenty-two of 190 patients (11.6%) developed OH postoperatively. No significant differences in age, gender, medical comorbidities, or premorbid functional status were observed. Based on univariate comparisons, traumatic mechanism of injury (
conclusionOur study highlights that OH is not an uncommon manifestation following cervical spine surgery. Patients with poorer ASIA grades A, B, or C were more likely to have OH when compared with those with ASIA grades D or E (43.5% vs 7.2%). Hence, we suggest that postural blood pressure should be routinely monitored in this group of patients so that early intervention can be initiated.
