The role of cerebral blood flow volume in cortical inhibition during postural changes.
Article in PeerJ, 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
This study investigated how body posture impacts cerebral hemodynamics and brain bioelectrical activity, aiming to understand the mechanisms by which increased cerebral blood flow in a supine position might lead to cortical inhibition, potentially indicated by a reduction in alpha wave presence. The study also explored the neurovascular effects of dynamic tilting. Simultaneous electroencephalographic (EEG) and rheoencephalographic (REG) recordings were conducted on 40 healthy participants (mean age = 21.3 ± 1.4 years; 20 men and 20 women) during two postural tests. In Test 1, participants transitioned between sitting upright and lying supine. Test 2 followed a similar design, with the addition of dynamic tilting through passive oscillations between +10° and -10° on a tilt table. Results indicated that REG parameters -specifically rheographic wave amplitude (RWA), venous outflow (VO), and catacrotic time (CT) -increased notably in the supine position, particularly among male participants. In Test 1, men also exhibited a pronounced drop in alpha absolute spectral power (P
