Association of orthostatic hypotension with Parkinson's disease: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveOrthostatic hypotension (OH) is a common non-motor sign of Parkinson's disease (PD). Several epidemiological studies have estimated the association between OH and PD with controversial results. Here, a meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between them.
methodsPubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI (Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure), VIP (Database of Chinese Scientific and Technical Periodicals), and Wanfang databases were searched for eligible publications from October 2003 to December 2017. Prevalence numbers from studies were pooled using a non-linear random-effects meta-analysis. Random effect model was used to calculate the pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from individual studies. Publication bias was estimated by Egger's test, Begg's test, and the funnel plot.
resultsNineteen studies involving 1620 PD patients and 898 healthy controls were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled estimate of the prevalence of OH in PD was 27.7% compared with 7.9% of that in control. The pooled OR of OH with PD was 4.343 (95% CI 3.323-5.676) with a low heterogeneity (I
conclusionIn the present meta-analysis, the pooled OR of OH with PD was 4.343 (95% CI 3.323-5.676) with a low heterogeneity, which showed a significant association between OH and increased risk of PD.
