Q fever endocarditis: a case report and review of the literature.
Article in The Canadian journal of cardiology, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
The case of a 31-year-old man from Alberta diagnosed with Q fever endocarditis is presented. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case of Q fever endocarditis diagnosed in the province of Alberta. The patient had undergone open valvulotomy for congenital aortic stenosis as an infant. He presented with congestive heart failure secondary to severe aortic regurgitation and underwent mechanical aortic valve replacement. Early failure of the mechanical prosthesis and numerous laboratory abnormalities prompted an investigation for endocarditis, which was initially negative. Markedly positive serology eventually established the diagnosis of chronic Q fever. The patient subsequently underwent a second aortic valve replacement following initiation of appropriate antimicrobials directed against Coxiella burnetii. The present report reviews the clinical presentation and diagnosis of Q fever endocarditis. It highlights the insidious and nonspecific nature of the presenting symptoms, and emphasizes the use of serology for diagnosis. Increased awareness and earlier diagnosis can significantly decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with this disease.
