Active Stand Testing for Identification of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 67-year-old woman presented to the Emergency Department (ED) of a Level 4 Hospital with a history of "dizziness" on standing. The front-door frailty team, including a consultant geriatrician, reviewed her in the ED. An Active Stand test was performed on the day of attendance, identifying Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). This was attributed to underlying adrenal insufficiency and managed with oral steroids. "Dizziness" is a common presentation to Emergency Departments and can be challenging to investigate. This case report describes the application of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, the novel use of beat-to-beat non-invasive blood pressure monitoring in an Emergency Department setting, and the benefits for an individual patient presenting with a complaint of "dizziness". While the benefits of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment have previously been described, our case report suggests that Active Stand testing in an ED setting may help clarify this presentation. Further research in this area could prove beneficial to patients.
