Role of congenital long-QT syndrome in unexplained sudden infant death: proposal for an electrocardiographic screening in relatives.
Review in European journal of pediatrics, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionCongenital long-QT syndrome (LQTS) is a sporadic or familial inherited arrhythmia. It can lead to sudden death by ventricular fibrillation which occurs at any age but particularly during infancy. Recent studies of postmortem molecular analysis in infants who died of unexplained sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) showed abnormal mutations to LQTS in 10% to 12%. Current methods of etiologic investigation of sudden infant death syndrome do not allow the diagnosis of LQTS. A targeted anamnesis together with systematic electrocardiograms of first- and second-degree relatives could be an efficient LQTS diagnostic tool. Therefore, we propose to include them in screening procedures for SIDS etiologies.
conclusionLQTS accounts for a significant number of unexplained SIDS. We suggest adding a systematic familial electrocardiographic screening to the current etiologic investigations in order to track congenital LQTS in relatives.
