1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Periodic episodes of fever and inflammation can have a genetic origin. Nowadays, the identification of the causative genetic variants in the majority of cases allows molecular genetic confirmation of the clinical diagnosis, which enables approaches with specific drug treatment and improves patient compliance as well as genetic counseling. Besides a detailed clinical examination a medical history including family history and an assessment of the ethnic origin are required. In order to make genetic testing straightforward and cost effective an iterative procedure should be followed which should include, in addition to clinical data, the frequencies of causative mutations in the various gene segments involved.
