[Surgical therapy of infective endocarditis].
Article in Zeitschrift fur Kardiologie, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Therapy of infective endocarditis (IE) remains a particular challenge due to a relative high morbidity and mortality. Cardiac surgery is established as a cornerstone in therapy for native valve endocarditis (NVE) as well as for prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) and is required in 30% of patients with active IE. The basic aim of surgery in IE is the radical debridement of infected tissue and reconstruction of valve function either by reconstructive valve surgery or valve replacement. Indication for surgery depends on several clinical variables, the main indication remains heart failure due to severe heart valve defects or prosthetic valve dysfunction. Surgical therapy of NVE can be performed with good clinical results in the early and late follow-up. Surgical therapy of PVE is still associated with quite high mortality up to 80% in some risk groups. This indicates the particular importance of focus evaluation and antibiotic prophylaxis after primary surgery for infective endocarditis.
