Increased prevalence of early repolarization in electrocardiograms of psoriatic patients.
Article in Heart and vessels, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Psoriasis (Ps) is a chronic-relapsing, inflammatory, and proliferative condition of the skin: prior studies hypothesized a link between Ps and anomalies in β-adrenergic tone. We therefore aimed to ascertain the prevalence of early repolarization pattern (ERP) in resting electrocardiograms (ECGs) of psoriatic patients compared with an appropriate control group. We performed a retrospective study of resting ECGs of 100 consecutive psoriatic patients and 100 healthy controls. The presence of ERP in at least two contiguous leads at rest ECG was recorded, and findings were also categorized according to the lead group where ERP was detected (anterior, lateral, inferior). An ERP in ≥ 2 contiguous leads occurred in 40 % of psoriatic patients, compared with 14 % of control subjects (p < 0.001). (36 vs 10 % in anterior leads, p < 0.001; 6 vs 3 % in inferior leads, p n.s.; 10 vs 2 % in lateral leads). After adjustment for sex, age, heart rate, and level of physical activity, the odds ratios for the presence of ERP were 8.6 (95 % CI, 2.1-35.2, p < 0.01), and 7.1 (95 % CI, 1.6-31.8, p < 0.05) in anterior leads. In a small case/control study, increased rates of ECGs showing ERP have been observed among psoriatic patients. Clinical significance of such finding needs to be assessed in further observational studies.
