Tilt table test today - state of the art.
Review in World journal of cardiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
A tilt table test (TTT) is an inexpensive, noninvasive tool for the differential diagnosis of syncope and orthostatic intolerance and has good diagnostic yield. The autonomic system malfunction which underlines the reflex syncope is manifested as either hypotension or bradycardia, while an orthostatic challenge is applied. The timing of the response to the orthostatic challenge, as well as the predominant component of the response help to differentiate between various forms of neurocardiogenic syncope, orthostatic hypotension and non-cardiovascular conditions (e.g., pseudosyncope). Medications, such as isoproterenol and nitrates, may increase TTT sensitivity. Sublingual nitrates are easiest to administer without the need of venous access. TTT can be combined with carotid sinus massage to evaluate carotid sinus hypersensitivity, which may not be present in supine position. TTT is not useful to access the response to treatment. Recently, implantable loop recorders (ILR) have been used to document cardioinhibitory reflex syncope, because pacemakers are beneficial in many of these patients, especially those over 45 years of age. The stepwise use of both TTT and ILR is a promising approach in these patients. Recently, TTT has been used for indications other than syncope, such as assessment of autonomic function in Parkinson's disease and its differentiation from multiple system atrophy.
