Unveiling orthostatic hypotension in precapillary pulmonary hypertension.
Article in ERJ open research, 2026. 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
Background: In addition to critical alterations in the pulmonary arterial network, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) may exhibit cardiovascular abnormalities that impair systemic arterial pressure regulation during gravitational challenges. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence, subtypes and haemodynamic mechanisms of orthostatic hypotension (OH) in PAH or CTEPH. Methods: OH was assessed using a 10-min active standing manoeuvre from supine baseline, with heart rate (HR; ECG) and arterial pressure (volume-clamp finger photoplethysmography) measured beat by beat. Stroke volume (SV) was estimated from the arterial pressure waveform, and cardiac output (CO) and total peripheral resistance (TPR) were calculated. Results: Among 60 patients, 31 (52%) had OH. Patients with and without OH did not differ in clinical characteristics and OH related symptoms (all p>0.050). HR, SV, CO and TPR responses (% change from supine baseline) were not different between groups with and without initial OH (p>0.05). However, SV decrease was greater in the group with than without delayed arterial pressure recovery (-31±21 Conclusion: OH is common in patients with PAH or CTEPH but is not associated with specific clinical characteristics. Initial OH lacks a clear haemodynamic cause, whereas delayed recovery and classic/delayed OH are linked to impaired SV and TPR responses to standing, respectively.
