Utility of Provocative Testing in the Diagnosis and Genotyping of Congenital Long QT Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
Background Diagnosis is particularly challenging in concealed or asymptomatic long QT syndrome (LQTS). Provocative testing, unmasking the characterization of LQTS, is a promising alternative method for the diagnosis of LQTS, but without uniform standards. Methods and Results A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library through October 14, 2021. The fixed effects model was used to assess the effect of the provocative testing on QTc interval. A total of 22 studies with 1137 patients with LQTS were included. At baseline, QTc interval was 40 ms longer in patients with LQTS than in controls (mean difference [MD], 40.54 [95% CI, 37.43-43.65];
