A Tick of the Clock: Finding the Sweet Spot in Tilt Table Test. The Effectiveness of Short-Duration Head-Up Tilt Test as a Diagnostic Tool in Suspected Vasovagal Patients: A Retrospective Observational Study in a Tertiary Syncope Unit.

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
Aims: The head-up tilt test (HUTT) has been markedly changed over the years, especially in the specified time for the passive and active phases. However, a consensus-based protocol has yet to be established. Methods: Seven hundred twenty-four patients suspected of vasovagal syncope who underwent HUTT through one of the protocols of 15to 20-min testing for each active/passive phase (the whole test duration was 30 or 40 min, respectively) were evaluated. Then, the positive responses were recorded. Results: 470 (64.9%) and 254 (35.1%) patients in the 15- and 20-min groups, respectively. Overall, 238 patients (50.6%) in the 15-min group and 140 patients (55.1%) in the 20-min group had positive responses ( Conclusion: The 15-min HUTT protocol has similar results to the 20-min protocol. Saving 10 min for each test has several potential benefits, such as increasing patient acceptance, decreasing patient discomfort, and enabling the conduct of more tests in a day in a syncope unit.
