Quantitative sensory testing predicts histological small fiber neuropathy in postural tachycardia syndrome.
Article in Neurology. Clinical practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundRetrospective investigation of the somatosensory profile and prediction of histologic small fiber neuropathy (SFN) in postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) was performed using quantitative sensory testing (QST) as a standardized noninvasive test.
methodsIn this investigation, full data sets from 30 patients (age: 34.03 ± 10.82 years, n = 6 males), including results of autonomic function testing, norepinephrine values, skin biopsy, and QST, were retrospectively analyzed. The QST data were compared with healthy controls (HCs) (age: 34.20 ± 10.5 years, n = 6 males,
resultsThe evaluation of all QST parameters in POTS compared with HCs yielded differences in all thermal parameters (cold detection threshold:
conclusionThese results suggest that a non-region-specific SFN in POTS compared with controls can be detected by noninvasive QST that predicts histologic small fiber pathology.
