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
This study identified the prevalence, influencing factors, and appropriate preprandial blood pressure (BP) management targets for postprandial hypotension (PPH) in older adults with hypertension in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). A multicenter cross-sectional study involving 25 LTCFs was conducted from June 2022 to August 2024. Trained researchers used validated automatic BP monitors to measure participants' BPs 30 min and immediately before breakfast and at 0-, 30-, 60-, 90-, and 120-min postprandially. Statistical methods included logistic regression modeling and restricted cubic splines. PPH affected 56.7% of 608 eligible participants. Preprandial systolic BP (odds ratio [OR]: 1.056, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.040-1.071) and metformin use (OR: 0.498, 95% CI: 0.267-0.926) were related to its occurrence. In sensitivity and subgroup analyses, age (OR: 1.034 ~ 1.038), body mass index (OR: 0.879 ~ 0.917), preprandial diastolic BP (OR: 0.899 ~ 1.085), the Chinese version of FRAIL-NH scores (OR: 1.163, 95% CI: 1.039-1.303), and using diuretics (OR: 1.971, 95% CI: 1.059-3.668) and calcium channel blockers (OR: 0.490, 95% CI: 0.267-0.897) were associated with PPH. The dose-response relationship between high preprandial BP and the PPH risk exhibited a monotonous increase. However, different inflection points were acquired, ranging from 133.8 ~ 142.9 mmHg for systolic BP and 72.6 ~ 78.8 mmHg for diastolic BP, according to postprandial BP decline patterns, existing frailty (yes or no) or cognitive dysfunction (yes or no). PPH is prevalent in older adults with hypertension in LTCFs and is related to modifiable factors. Personalized preprandial BP management may reduce its risk in these individuals. Further longitudinal and interventional studies are warranted to expand these results.
