Association between blood pressure instability and health-related quality of life in people with spinal cord injury.
Article in Spinal cord, 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
STUDY
designObservational cohort
objectiveThe Blood Pressure Dysregulation (BPD) Measurement System (BPD-MS) was developed to assess the impact of BPD on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and activities of daily living (ADL) in individuals with SCI. Association between BPD-MS scores and blood pressure (BP) measurements has not been reported.
settingAcademic Medical Center and Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center
methodsSixty-five participants were enrolled, five had missing data and were not included in analyses. Data are reported in 60 participants with SCI at or above T6. Outcomes include 7-day home BP monitoring with end-of-day (EOD) BPD-MS t-scores on three BPD-MS surveys: (1) Low BP (LBP) HRQoL (LBP-HRQoL), (2) Autonomic Dysreflexia HRQoL (AD-HRQoL), and (3) impact of LBP on ADL (LBP-ADL). Higher scores on these surveys indicate more BPD-related health concerns. Between-person and within-person associations between BPD-MS scores and the average (Avg) and standard deviations (Std) for systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) are reported.
resultsWeekly Avg SBP and DBP were not associated with scores on any of the BPD-MS surveys. Weekly Std SBP and Std DBP were significantly associated with between-subject LBP-HRQoL and LBP-ADL scores (all p ≤ 0.02). Associations between Std SBP and Std DBP with scores on the AD-HRQoL were not significant.
conclusionSignificant between-person effects suggest that individuals with more/less BP instability (Std) had greater/less negative impact on HRQoL and ADL. The findings indicate that the BPD-MS can be used to screen individuals who are more likely to be experiencing adverse health consequences of low BP instability.
