Primary haemochromatosis resulting in dilated cardiomyopathy arising out of mutation in HJV gene in Indian patients: a rare scenario.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2020. 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
Primary haemochromatosis (PH) is a genetic disorder of iron metabolism with multiorgan involvement due to mutations in HFE or more rarely haemojuvelin (HJV) gene. Cardiac involvement results in dilated cardiomyopathy with reduced ejection fraction and progressive heart failure. PH is rarely reported from India and cardiomyopathy due to PH from HJV mutations is thought to be uncommon. We report two families with cardiomyopathy resulting from PH. Diagnosis was suspected on the basis of skin pigmentation, markedly elevated serum ferritin and transferring saturation. Genetic testing revealed a rare mutation in HJV gene in one family. Being a treatable condition, PH should be suspected and investigated in cardiomyopathy patients in Indian subcontinent. If HFE is negative, analysis of non-HFE mutation should always be considered.
