Late-onset severe long QT syndrome.
Article in Annals of noninvasive electrocardiology : the official journal of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Inc, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We report a case of torsades de pointes arrhythmia as the first manifestation of congenital Long QT syndrome in a 77-year-old man with family history of sudden unexplained death. This case illustrates the importance of vigilant clinical assessment and genetic counseling in families with sudden death in order to identify properly asymptomatic relatives at risk for cardiac events. It also demonstrates that Long QT syndrome can still manifest with potentially fatal arrhythmias late in life in previously asymptomatic elderly patients.
