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.

2 · The registry

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: The factors governing the presence and severity of orthostatic hypotension (OH) in multiple system atrophy (MSA) may differ. We investigated factors independently associated with OH and severe OH in MSA, and assessed the consistency of these associations across subtypes. Methods: We examined the clinical data of 242 MSA patients who had blood pressure evaluations to assess OH. We analyzed the clinical data of MSA patients with and without OH, as well as those with mild and severe OH, focusing on clinical characteristics and brain MRI features to identify factors associated with OH presence and severe OH. Results: OH was present in 136 patients (56.2%). MSA-C subtype (OR = 2.42, 95% CI = 1.33-4.43, Conclusion: Factors associated with OH presence differed from those associated with severe OH in MSA. MSA-C subtype, diagnostic certainty, and UMSARS-I score were associated with OH presence, whereas male sex and NMSS burden were associated with severe OH.
