Familial Mediterranean fever and atherosclerosis in childhood and adolescence.
Review in Rheumatology international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Familial Mediterranean fever is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by periodic and self-limited episodes of fever and aseptic polyserositis. Although colchicine treatment has altered the course of the disease, it is believed that subclinical inflammation is still present, leading to endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis in the course of time. In this review, following the published recommendations, we queried online databases such as MEDLINE Pubmed, Scopus, and Web of science for peer-reviewed studies and reviews written in English language, using the following keywords: familial Mediterranean fever, children, endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease. The objective of this review is to highlight the correlation between familial Mediterranean fever and atherosclerosis, and moreover to describe new serum inflammatory markers and non-invasive methods of endothelial dysfunction, to detect the atherosclerosis process early starting from childhood.
