Progress of autonomic disturbances in narcolepsy type 1.
Review in Frontiers in neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Narcolepsy type 1 is a kind of sleep disorder characterized by a specific loss of hypocretin neurons in the lateral hypothalamus and reduced levels of hypocretin-1 in the cerebrospinal fluid. Hypocretin deficiency is associated with autonomic disorders. This article summarizes the autonomic disorders and possible mechanisms associated with narcolepsy type 1. Patients with narcolepsy type 1 often have various systemic autonomic symptoms, including non-dipping blood pressure, reduced heart rate variability, dynamic cerebral autoregulation impairment, reduced gastric motility and emptying, sleep-related erectile dysfunction, skin temperature abnormalities, and blunted pupillary light reflex. Similar findings should strengthen the recognition and intervention of these disturbances in clinical practice. In addition to hypocretin deficiency, current evidence also indicates that pharmacological therapy (including psychostimulants and anti-cataplectic drugs) and comorbidities may contribute to the alterations of autonomic system observed in narcolepsy type 1.
