Functional status associated with postural dizziness, but not postural hypotension, in older adults: a community-based study.
Trial report in BMC geriatrics, 2023. 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
backgroundFunctional status, postural dizziness (PD), and postural hypotension (PH) were important issues in older adults. Only one study on the relationship for the three of them in female was without adjusting some important associated factors. This study was intended to investigate the association of PD and PH with functional status in older people of both genders.
methodsBased on a stratified randomized cluster sampling, 1361 subjects ≥ 65 years in the community were recruited from Tainan City, Taiwan, from 2000 to 2001. PH was defined as a decrease in systolic/diastolic blood pressure of ≥ 20/10 mm Hg after 1 or 2 min of standing. PD was defined by a positive response to dizziness-like symptoms after standing up from a supine position. Functional status included the activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs).
resultsAfter adjusting other variables, ADL disability (OR: 1.84, 95% CI: 1.35-2.51) and IADL disability (OR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.21-2.17) were associated with PD, but not PH. In male and female subgroups, ADL disability (male OR: 1.70, 95% CI: 1.08-2.67; female OR 1.96, 95% CI: 1.26-3.07) was associated with PD. In male, IADL disability was associated with PD (OR: 2.32, 95% CI: 1.36-3.95).
conclusionsImpaired functional status, shown using ADLs or IADLs, was positively associated with PD, but not PH in older adults ≥ 65 years. Clinically, it may be important to evaluate PD in older adults with ADL or IADL disability.
