Fragmented QRS in the relatives of patients with coronary artery disease.

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
backgroundCoronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the important causes of mortality. It has been emphasized that the risk of CAD may be increased in the relatives of CAD patients. Fragmented QRS (fQRS) is an electrocardiography (ECG) marker showing myocardial damage.
methodsA study group of 62 symptomatic individuals (31 males, mean age 38.5 ± 7.12 years) with first-degree relatives with coronary artery disease and 64 healthy volunteers (24 males, mean age 37.9 ± 11.6 years) were included in this study. The study did not include those with known cardiac disease, metabolic disease, or drug use that may cause a change in ECG parameters.
resultsThere was no significant difference between the groups regarding gender, heart rate, QRS complex, QTc, frontal QRS-T angle, and left ventricle ejection fraction. Compared to the control group, the QT interval and fQRS count were significantly higher in the study group (p < .05 for both). Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), hemoglobin, and neutrophil counts were significantly higher in the study group compared to the control group (p < .05 for all).
conclusionsOur study showed that fQRS was increased in individuals with symptomatic first-degree relatives with coronary artery disease compared to healthy volunteers.
