Excerpt

Systematic reviews and big data analysis may sometimes result in erroneous interpretations. In this issue of Clinical Autonomic Research [13], Rajan and colleagues publish a review on sudomotor function measured by electrochemical skin conductance (ESC) (Sudoscan^®). While the authors are to be commended for attempting to perform a systematic analysis on this increasingly relevant technique, they incurred in several instances of misinterpretation of evidence. Therefore, we would like to address several inaccuracies of their review, which, we believe, readers should be aware of. …
