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

We describe an elderly patient presenting with cardio-embolic stroke who was found to have infective endocarditis (IE) affecting the mitral valve. Penicillin-resistant Facklamia hominis was identified as the causative pathogen. Despite initiation of aggressive antibiotic treatment, the patient suffered a fatal myocardial infarction 2 days post-diagnosis of IE. Facklamia spp. have not been previously reported to be associated with IE. Here, we discuss the link between IE and cardio-embolic stroke along with a discussion of various causative pathogens.
