Pathophysiology of infective endocarditis.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Infective endocarditis (IE) is an uncommon infection, occurring as a complication in varying percentages of bacteremic episodes. The ability of an organism to cause endocarditis is the result of an interplay between the predisposing structural abnormalities of the cardiac valve for bacterial adherence, the adhesion of circulating bacteria to the valvular surface, and the ability of the adherent bacteria to survive on the surface and propagate as vegetation or systemic emboli. Certain bacteria, if present in the bloodstream, may colonize the initially sterile vegetation composed of fibrin and platelets; bacterial growth enlarges the vegetation, further impeding blood flow and inciting inflammation that involves the vegetation and adjacent endothelium. The true incidence of endocarditis complicating each of the bacterial species causing IE is difficult to estimate. About 20 %-30 % of individuals with community-acquired staphylococcal bacteremia develop IE [1, 2].
