Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome Misdiagnosed as Anxiety: A Case Report with a Review of Therapy and Pathophysiology.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Dizziness can be protean with multiple phenotypes. One common phenotype in the young population is postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). POTS has a unique cardiovascular signature with a fascinating range of etiologies and pharmacodynamic substrates. This condition can pass undiagnosed for many years and is often mistaken as an anxiety disorder due to some of its hyperadrenergic manifestations. We present one such case and then flesh out the treatment strategies, both conservative and pharmacologic. We finally describe the various underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms of POTS and its sub-types and outline the various aberrant cardiovascular reflexes. We also describe the power spectra of the heart rate variability frequency bands and their underlying physiologic basis.
