Acute rheumatic fever in the Central Anatolia Region of Turkey: a 30-year experience in a single center.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
unlabelledThe study was carried out in Dr. Sami Ulus Children's Hospital to investigate and to compare the incidence and findings of acute rheumatic fever patients (ARF) seen in the past 30 years. The medical records of 1,115 patients with ARF admitted to Dr. Sami Ulus Children's Hospital Department of Pediatric Cardiology during 1980-2009 were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty-one percent of those patients were admitted between 1980 and 1989, 44.6% between 1990 and 1999, and 34.2% between 2000 and 2009. The highest incidence was detected in the second decade with a rate of 60.0:100,000. Male/female ratio was 1:18. The age of patients ranged between 2 and 15 years. Carditis was detected in 64.7% of patients, arthritis in 59.1%, and chorea in 14.1%. Mitral regurgitation was the most common echocardiographic finding. Heart failure was detected in 13.8%. Recurrent attacks occurred in 8.1% of patients. The median follow-up was 6.8 years (range, 1.2-10.5 years). The prevalence of chronic rheumatic valvular disease was 58%. Mortality rate was 0.8%.
conclusionAlthough the incidence of ARF has decreased in the last decade, it still continues to be an important public health problem in Turkish pediatric population.
