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.

2 · The registry

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

Hyperadrenergic orthostatic hypertension (hyper OH), defined as OH with elevated levels of upright plasma norepinephrine (NE), is assumed to be a clinical expression of peripheral sympathetic denervation (PSD). Primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease that not only affects the exocrine glands but also develops autonomic neuropathy with PSD. We present a hyper OH with PSD possibly associated with pSS and successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). The case was a 60-year-old man who developed recurrent syncope on rapid standing from a sitting position. Head-up tilt test and NE infusion test showed hyper OH with PSD. This case report raises the possible associations between hyper OH and autonomic neuropathy as pSS developed.
