Normal QT dispersion in colchicine-resistant familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The association between familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and subclinical cardiac disease remains controversial. The aim of the current study was to evaluate whether FMF patients, who do not respond to colchicine treatment, and thereby endure persistent inflammation, have increased QT dispersion (QTd) values. Twenty-two FMF patients and 22 age- and sex-matched control subjects were included in the study. Repolarization and QT dispersion parameters were computed from 12-lead ECG recording using designated computer software, and results of five beats were subsequently averaged. Both FMF patients and controls had similar comorbidities, similar values of average QT, average corrected QT interval length, average QTd interval, average QT corrected dispersion, QT dispersion ratio, JT dispersion (JTd), and JT corrected dispersion. In conclusion, FMF patients who were unresponsive to colchicine treatment and did not develop amyloidosis had normal QTd and JTd parameters, indicating a non-increased risk for repolarization-associated ventricular arrhythmias.
