Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome in patients of orthostatic intolerance symptoms: an ambispective study.
Article in AIMS neuroscience, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundA Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is infrequently diagnosed in routine practice because of the variable range of symptoms that could be seen in cardiac rhythm disorders, vertigo, chronic fatigue syndrome and anxiety panic disorder. POTS is a chronic debilitating condition that affects day to day efficient working of an individual. We have planned a study to look for POTS in patients who are having orthostatic intolerance symptoms and underwent a head-up tilt table test (HUTT).
aimTo study the prevalence of POTS in patients of orthostatic intolerance (OI) symptoms and to analyze symptomatology, its association with neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS), and its outcome.
methodsWe reviewed the medical records of 246 patients presented with symptoms of OI seen at our centre from January 2010 till March 2019. Out of them, 40 patients included, those qualifying the criteria for POTS on HUTT.
resultsThe mean age of the cohort was 25.90 ± 10.33 years with a range of 15 to 55 years, and males comprised 52.5% (21/40) of total patients. The most frequent presenting orthostatic symptoms of POTS patients are loss of consciousness (77.5%), lightheadedness (75%), and palpitation (67.5%). A total of 18 patients (45%) had coexisting neurocardiogenic syncope.
conclusionPOTS is a prevalent condition and have a significant impact on the quality of life, and the majority of patients may not present with OI symptoms during HUTT. We have to keep this possibility in young patients of transient loss of consciousness because it may coexist with NCS.
