From http://www.jpsychores.com/article/S0022-3999(16)30280-X/abstract -- but you can see the whole (rather useless) article right there.
CDC Consensus Criteria (which is... what?) patients were compared with patients with chronic fatigue symptoms who did not meet this criteria.
....oh, it's the Fukuda criteria. So they compared Fukuda patients with patients with unexplained fatigue; and patients in both groups had similar (low!) incidence of POTS.
I'm not sure what the difference between these two groups would be in the first place! Fukuda isn't very specific.
Sorry to present you all with something so useless! It's really too bad, if they'd used the CCC or something more specific, I would have been very interested to see the results. They had large cohort numbers, too; it's a shame.
