There is no "btrfs partition table". There are two partitioning schemes, MBR and GPT. If you used one of them you must have formatted at least one partition as a BTRFS partition.

I am not familiar with BTFRS. If I got it correctly you can even format a disk completely in BTRFS without partitioning it first.

Depending on your settings during the creation of BTRFS you will have to select MBR, GPT or "none" in Testdisk.
Describing your disk settings how they were like before the incident happen could be helpful.

Thank you. People talk about the future, Btrfs is one of them.
