1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is the most common disorder seen in autonomic clinics. Cardinal hemodynamic feature of this chronic and debilitating disorder of orthostatic tolerance is an exaggerated orthostatic tachycardia (≥30 bpm increase in HR with standing) in the absence of orthostatic hypotension. There are multiple pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie POTS. Some patients with POTS have evidence of elevated sympathoneural tone. This hyperadrenergic state is likely a driver of the excessive orthostatic tachycardia. Another common pathophysiological mechanism in POTS is a hypovolemic state. Many POTS patients with a hypovolemic state have been found to have a perturbed renin-angiotensin-aldosterone profile. These include inappropriately low plasma renin activity and aldosterone levels with resultant inadequate renal sodium retention. Some POTS patients have also been found to have elevated plasma angiotensin II (Ang-II) levels, with some studies suggesting problems with decreased angiotensin converting enzyme 2 activity and decreased Ang-II degradation. An understanding of these pathophysiological mechanisms in POTS may lead to more rational treatment approaches that derive from these pathophysiological mechanisms.
