QT dispersion in amyloidosis due to familial Mediterranean fever.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Cardiac amyloid deposition in FMF may cause increased QT dispersion (QTd), a marker for cardiac arrhythmias. The aim of this study was to further evaluate repolarization dispersion in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) with amyloidosis. Findings on 12-lead electrocardiography were compared between 18 patients with FMF-amyloidosis and 18 age- and sex-matched control subjects. Repolarization and dispersion parameters were computed with designated computer software, and results of the 5 beats were subsequently averaged. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups as to average corrected QT interval length, average QTd interval, average QT corrected dispersion, or QT dispersion ratio. JT dispersion and JT corrected dispersion were also similar in both groups. In conclusion, patients with FMF-amyloidosis seem to have QT and JT dispersion parameters similar to those of healthy subjects. Future research and longer follow-ups should be conducted in order to evaluate the prognostic importance of repolarization dispersion parameters in amyloidosis of FMF.
