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

backgroundOrthostatic hypotension (OH) is a common blood pressure abnormality in older adults that makes them prone to balance disorders and falls. The maintenance of balance relies on a complex regulatory system. The use of computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) can provide a quantitative evaluation of balance function. The objective of this study was to utilize CDP to measure balance indicators in older individuals with OH.

methodsA total of 303 older adults were divided into an OH group of 91 and a non-OH group of 212. Various factors, including chronic diseases, medication history, laboratory tests, and balance indicators, were compared between the two groups.

results① Participants with OH had more chronic diseases, including coronary heart disease (

conclusionsThis study demonstrates that older individuals with OH are more prone to falls, due to decreased sensory integration for balance.
