Could the monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio serve as a reliable marker for orthostatic hypotension in older adults? A cross-sectional study.
Observational study in BMC geriatrics, 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
backgroundOrthostatic Hypotension is a condition that increases in frequency with age and is associated with inflammation. This study investigates the relationship between the Monocyte-to-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio (MHR) and OH in older adults.
methodsIt was designed as a cross-sectional and observational study at our Geriatric outpatient clinic. Total of 229 patients were assessed retrospectively. OH was evaluated based on the active standing test. Logistic regression analysis was utilized to assess the association between MHR and both OH and supine hypertension (HT).
resultsOf the 229 patients in the study, 73.5% were female, and the mean age was 76.75±6.52 years. The OH and control groups differed significantly in terms of sex, age, body mass index (BMI), malnutrition, frailty and probable sarcopenia. The MHRs were higher in both the OH group and the supine HT subgroup when compared to the control group (p<0.05). The cut-off value for MHR in the OH group was 9.28 (p=0.023). In a regression analysis, a significant relationship was observed between the presence of OH and MHR, independent of confounding factors (odds ratio (OR) 1.09;p=0.045). Similarly, an independent relationship was identified between the presence of supine HT and MHR (OR 1.1;p=0.033).
conclusionsMHR was found to be independently associated with OH in older adults, while supine HT within the OH group may be linked to MHR after adjusting for confounding factors.
