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.

Abstract

introductionOrthostatic hypotension (OH) is defined as a decline in systolic blood pressure of at least 20 mmHg or a reduction in diastolic blood pressure of at least 10 mmHg, within the first 3 min of standing.

aimTo evaluate the prevalence of OH and to identify the characteristics of patients with OH in hypertensive patients hospitalized in medical inpatient departments.

methodsA multicenter, observational, prospective study (FADOI-HYP-OP) included 1000 hypertensive inpatients from 29 Departments throughout Italy. Demographic, clinical data, blood pressure and the presence of comorbidities were recorded at baseline. Factors associated with OH were assessed in multiple logistic regression analysis.

resultsThe prevalence of OH was 25.1%. Factors independently associated with OH included disturbances of consciousness (RR 1.56, 95%CI 1.10-2.20; p = 0.01), Parkinson's disease (RR 2.30, 95%CI 1.47-3.59; p = 0.0002), type-1 diabetes (RR 1.72, 95%CI 1.05-2.80; p = 0.03), respiratory comorbidities/diseases (RR 1.32, 95%CI 1.02-1.70; p = 0.04), ischemic heart disease (IHD) (RR 1.20, 95%CI 1.01-1.43; p = 0.04) and α1-adrenergic receptor blockers use (RR 1.32, 95%CI 1.03-1.69; p = 0.03).

conclusionsThese real-world data indicate considerable prevalence of OH in hypertensive inpatients and confirm the association between OH and several common comorbidities as well as with use of α1-adrenergic receptor blockers. CLINICAL
