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

Background: PD (PD) is associated with a twofold increase in the risk of death especially sudden death. A predisposing factor for cardiac sudden death is prolongation of the QT interval. This study evaluated the potential association between QT interval and PD. Methods: A systematic search was conducted of Medline and EMBASE using the search terms "PD" AND "QT interval" OR "Cardiac Repolarization" to identify articles. Results: Seven studies with persons with PD ( Conclusion: Individuals with PD have a longer QT interval than individuals without PD. The QT interval is associated with a greater severity of PD and a greater probability of developing more severe PD. The QT interval should be considered in assessment of PD and possibly as a target for the treatment of PD.
