Decoding Hypotension: Porcelain Aorta and Its Unexpected Normalcy.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Peripheral blood pressure (PBP) is used as a substitute for central blood pressure (CBP) because it is more accessible and less invasive, but in certain conditions like porcelain aorta, it may fail to accurately represent true hemodynamics. Porcelain aorta, characterized by extensive calcification of the aortic arch, can lead to significant discrepancies between PBP and CBP leading to challenges in diagnoses and management. We report a case of an 80-year-old male individual with porcelain aorta, found to have a greater than 100 mmHg difference in systolic PBP and CBP, who presented with recurrent admissions for hypotension despite an absence of organ dysfunction. This case highlights the need to be aware and account for CBP measurements in patients with extensive vascular calcifications to guide appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.
