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

backgroundNeurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) causes pathological falls in standing blood pressure that may or may not be symptomatic. nOH also raises the risk of poor neurological outcomes irrespective of symptom presence, possibly reflecting subclinical cerebral hypoperfusion. Dynamic changes in cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFv) help infer how blood pressure fluctuations influence CBFv and cerebral autoregulation. Whether CBFv is impacted in nOH relative to related conditions without nOH and healthy controls (HC) remains unresolved. Whether nOH symptoms reflect greater CBFv falls is also unclear. This review aimed to compare CBFv between nOH and HC, nOH and disease-matched controls (eg, Parkinson disease±nOH), and between symptomatic and asymptomatic nOH.

methodsEmbase and MEDLINE were searched up to April 2024. Means, SDs, and sample sizes for supine and upright CBFv were extracted to generate standardized effect sizes (Hedge g). Random-effects modeling compared postintervention between-group effect sizes.

resultsSeventeen studies were included for review. Thirteen studies were suitable for meta-analysis comparing nOH to HC, 2 comparing disease-matched controls to nOH and to HC, and 3 for symptomatic comparisons. Compared with HC, nOH had larger drops in CBFv (Hedge g, -0.64 [95% CI, -0.85 to -0.44];

conclusionsnOH causes significant orthostatic reductions in CBFv compared with HC, and symptomatic patients experience greater falls in CBFv than asymptomatic patients. Recognizing the clinical implications of CBFv in nOH is crucial for mitigating adverse outcomes.
