Orthostatic hypotension and neurocognitive disorders in older women: Results from the EPIDOS cohort study.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
backgroundAlthough it is well-admitted that cardiovascular health affects cognition, the association between orthostatic hypotension (OH) and cognition remains unclear. The objectives of the present study were i) to determine among the EPIDOS cohort (EPIdémiologie de l'OStéoporose) whether OH was cross-sectionally associated with cognitive impairment at baseline, and ii) whether baseline OH could predict incident cognitive decline after 7 years of follow-up.
methodsSystolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure (SBP and DBP) changes while standing (ie, ΔSBP and ΔDBP, in %) were measured at baseline among 2,715 community-dwelling older women aged 75 years and older using no antihypertensive drugs from the French EPIDOS cohort. OH was defined as a decrease in SBP ≥20 mmHg and/or a decrease in DBP ≥10 mmHg within 3 min after standing. Cognitive impairment was defined as a Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire (SPMSQ) score <8 (/10). Among those without cognitive impairment at baseline, a possible incident onset of cognitive decline was then sought after 7 years of follow-up among 257 participants.
resultsBaseline ΔSBP was associated with baseline cognitive impairment (adjusted OR = 1.01, p = 0.047), but not with incident onset of cognitive decline after 7 years (adjusted OR = 0.98, p = 0.371). Neither baseline OH nor baseline ΔDBP were associated with cognitive impairment neither at baseline (p = 0.426 and p = 0.325 respectively) nor after 7 years (p = 0.180 and p = 0.345 respectively).
conclusionsSBP drop while standing, but neither OH per se nor DBP drop while standing, was associated with baseline cognitive impairment in older women. The relationship between OH and cognitive impairment appears more complex than previously expected.
