Evaluation of orthostatic dizziness and lightheadedness in older adults: symptoms not to be taken lightly.
Article in Frontiers in neurology. 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
Orthostatic dizziness and lightheadedness are frequent complaints in patients age 60 and above, whereas various common and uncommon etiologies need to be considered, including medication side effects, cardiovascular and metabolic causes and neurologic disorders. Autonomic dysfunction is a common etiology that warrants comprehensive medical and neurologic evaluations for identification of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, prodromal Parkinson's disease, Lew body dementia, pure autonomic failure and others. In this article, key historical details, physical exam findings and diagnostic investigations for orthostatic dizziness are discussed. Patients' report of chronic and persistent orthostatic intolerance, even in the absence of objective orthostatic hypotension, should serve as a reliable and sufficient key feature should prompt an evaluation for autonomic and neurodegenerative disorders.
