Baroreflex responses to limb venous distension in humans.
Article in American journal of physiology. Regulatory, integrative and comparative physiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
The venous distension reflex (VDR) is a pressor response evoked by peripheral venous distension and accompanied by increased muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA). The effects of venous distension on the baroreflex, an important modulator of blood pressure (BP), have not been examined. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the VDR on baroreflex sensitivity (BRS). We hypothesized that the VDR will increase the sympathetic BRS (SBRS). Beat-by-beat heart rate (HR), BP, and MSNA were recorded in 16 female and 19 male young healthy subjects. To induce venous distension, normal saline equivalent to 5% of the forearm volume was infused into the veins of the occluded forearm. SBRS was assessed from the relationship between diastolic BP and MSNA during spontaneous BP variations. Cardiovagal BRS (CBRS) was assessed with the sequence technique. Venous distension evoked significant increases in BP and MSNA. Compared with baseline, during the maximal VDR response period, SBRS was significantly increased (-3.1 ± 1.5 to -4.5 ± 1.6 bursts·100 heartbeats
