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
backgroundThe clinical course and therapeutic strategies in the congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) are genotype-specific. However, accurate estimation of LQTS genotype is often difficult from the standard 12-lead ECG.
objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the utility of QT/RR slope analysis by the 24-hour Holter monitoring for differential diagnosis of LQTS genotype between LQT1 and LQT2.
methodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled 54 genetically identified LQTS patients (29 LQT1 and 25 LQT2) recruited from three medical institutions. The QT-apex (QTa) interval and the QT-end (QTe) interval at each 15-second were plotted against the RR intervals, and the linear regression (QTa/RR and QTe/RR slopes, respectively) was calculated from the entire 24-hour and separately during the day or night-time periods of the Holter recordings.
resultsThe QTe/RR and QTa/RR slopes at the entire 24-hour were significantly steeper in LQT2 compared to those in LQT1 patients (0.262 ± 0.063 vs. 0.204 ± 0.055, p = .0007; 0.233 ± 0.052 vs. 0.181 ± 0.040, p = .0002, respectively). The QTe interval was significantly longer, and QTe/RR and QTa/RR slopes at daytime were significantly steeper in LQT2 than in LQT1 patients. The receiver operating curve analysis revealed that the QTa/RR slope of 0.211 at the entire 24-hour Holter was the best cutoff value for differential diagnosis between LQT1 and LQT2 (sensitivity: 80.0%, specificity: 75.0%, and area under curve: 0.804 [95%CI = 0.68-0.93]).
conclusionThe continuous 24-hour QT/RR analysis using the Holter monitoring may be useful to predict the genotype of congenital LQTS, particularly for LQT1 and LQT2.
