A Case of Post-malarial Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome in a Young Woman of South Asian Origin.

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
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) often manifests following an acute infection. This case study reports a post-malarial onset of POTS in a young female medical student who presented with tachycardia, dizziness, presyncope, several episodes of syncope, and dysautonomic symptoms. The diagnosis of POTS was established only four years later by a tilt table test. The patient made a remarkable functional recovery from POTS, as she responded well to pharmacotherapy, primarily beta-blockers, along with lifestyle modifications. Although mild dysautonomic symptoms such as lack of thermoregulation and decreased perspiration have persisted throughout her life, the patient has managed to cope with these symptoms and function well in her daily life. To our knowledge, this is probably the first reported case of post-malarial POTS, and we recommend that the non-viral etiology of POTS, particularly the post-malarial cases, be studied in detail to understand the pathophysiology and management of this disorder.
