Autonomic uprising: the tilt table test in autonomic medicine.
Review in Clinical autonomic research : official journal of the Clinical Autonomic Research Society, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 54 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
This perspective piece on head-up tilt table testing is part of a series on autonomic function testing. The tilt table can be a useful diagnostic test, but methodologies vary, and the results are sometimes misinterpreted. The intent here is not to review comprehensively the utility of various tilt table testing protocols but to convey a number of general points that may give perspective and have practical clinical value, based on an understanding of autonomic physiology and our long clinical and research experience in the evaluation of autonomic disorders. The goals of tilt table testing are to assess orthostatic hypotension (OH), chronic orthostatic intolerance (COI), and unexplained syncope. The testing is useful for distinguishing neurogenic from non-neurogenic OH, identifying failure of the sympathetic noradrenergic system in autonomic neuropathies and ganglionopathies, and assessing baroreflex-sympathoneural function in α-synucleinopathies. For COI, the testing can provide objective data related to the patient's symptoms, diagnose postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and distinguish POTS from other causes of tachycardia. Provocative tilt table testing can help understand bases for recurrent transient loss of consciousness in patients with syncope, distinguish neurally mediated syncope from psychogenic pseudosyncope, and separate syncope-related convulsion from epileptic seizures. For each of these purposes, the goals, formats, endpoints, and clinical utility are different. As for any autonomic test, tilt table findings must be interpreted in the context of the patient's clinical presentation.
