Body Posture-Related Differences in Pain Perception and Their Mediation by Cardiovascular Factors.
Article in Psychophysiology, 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
Pain modulation arising from the cardiovascular system has repeatedly been described. It is mediated by the baroreceptor system, where the activity of baroreceptor afferents inhibits nociception. Body posture changes cause blood volume redistribution that might modulate baroreceptor activity and antinociceptive effects. This study investigated posture-related differences in pain perception and their causation by cardiovascular factors. Pressure pain threshold and tolerance and pain intensity ratings were obtained in 83 healthy individuals (61 women and 22 men) while they were sitting, lying down and standing. Electrocardiography, impedance cardiography and continuous blood pressure were recorded in each posture. Pain threshold was higher while lying down than standing, and pain tolerance was higher while lying down than standing and sitting. Pain intensity ratings for suprathreshold stimulation (4 kg/cm
