The contribution of diet preference to the disease course in children with familial Mediterranean fever: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Reumatologia, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06338891 (Can Gluten/Wheat or Other Foods be Responsible for FMF Attacks), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 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.

Abstract
objectivesFamilial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is characterized by recurrent, self-limiting attacks of fever and serositis. Nutrition is very important in the management of chronic diseases. Previous studies suggested that salty and fatty diet cause inflammation, therefore we aimed to investigate the effects of dietary self-efficacy and behavior about low-salt or low-fat diet on disease course in children with FMF. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study included patients aged between 10-18 years, diagnosed in our department and admitted between June 2019 and September 2019. Demographic and clinical properties were obtained from the medical files of the patients. Children's Dietary Self-Efficacy Scale (CDSS) and Health Behavior Questionnaire (HBQ) - Diet Behavior Scale (DBS) were performed for dietary self-efficacy and behavior about preferring low-salt or low-fat diet. Clinical features were compared between patients, which were grouped according to the sum of these two scales, with a cut-off score of 5.
resultsThe mean age of 74 FMF patients (44 females, 34 males), included in the study, was 14.6 ±2.82 years. Median CDSS and DBS scores of the patients were 5 (minimum -6, maximum 14) and 0 (minimum -10, maximum 12), respectively. According to the sum of these two scales, 39 (52.7%) patients who had scored at least 5, had a statistically higher rate of complete response to colchicine. The remaining clinical parameters were similar between these two groups.
conclusionsLow-salt or low-fat diet may be an adjuvant modification in the management of children with FMF. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of low-salt or low-fat diet in FMF pathogenesis.
