1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an ethnicity-specific autoinflammatory disease prevalent in the Arab world. It has various presentations including amyloidosis, small-vessel vasculitis, and pericarditis. Different mutations in the Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene can cause this disorder and it is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. We present a case of a 23-year-old man of Iranian descent with history of periodic fever, diagnosed as Stanford type A aortic dissection secondary to an acute attack of FMF. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported of such a complication. <
