Review in Drugs, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07019519 (Interplay Between Gut Hormones and Autonomic Postprandial Blood Flow Regulation in Patients With POTS), which is not on this map. Cited by 43 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a debilitating disease that predominantly affects young women. It is a multifactorial disorder that is characterized by severe tachycardia and orthostatic intolerance. Patients with POTS experience a variety of cardiac, neurological, and immunological symptoms that significantly reduce quality of life. In this review, a comprehensive framework is provided to aid in helping identify and treat patients with POTS. Given its heterogenous nature, it is crucial to understand each component of POTS in relation to one another instead of distinct parts. The framework highlights the overlap among the five main subtypes of POTS based on its pathophysiology (neuropathic, hypovolemic, primary hyperadrenergic, joint-hypermobility-related, and immune-related). Emphasis is placed on incorporating a multidisciplinary approach when treating patients with POTS, especially with a new focus towards immunotherapy. Although research has advanced our knowledge of POTS, there is still a critically unmet need to further our understanding and provide patients with the relief they need.
