Familial Mediterranean fever without fever as a cause of monoarthritis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2013. 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
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease. FMF-related arthritis affects large joints, especially in the lower extremities. It starts with acute pain and swelling and affects one joint at a time. Fever is the most common symptom in FMF. Monoarthritis as the sole symptom is relatively rare and thus delayed diagnosis of the disease in a patient who had been suffering from monoarthritis for several years. Genetic analysis showing typical mutations in the patient eventually resulted in correct diagnosis, although classical clinical diagnostic criteria were not met. The patient received appropriate therapy with colchicine, which led to remission of the symptoms.
