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

Granulicatella adiacens, a recently nomenclatured bacterium, was considered as one of the nutritionally variant streptococci (NVS) and is a mouth commensal. It is redesignated as a streptococcus like bacterium since it differs from streptococci. We report a case of infective endocarditis (IE) caused by this fastidious and unusual bacteria in a 63-year-old man with rheumatic valvular heart disease. G. adiacens was isolated from four of his blood culture samples, which was sensitive to beta lactams, moderately sensitive to gentamicin and resistant to erythromycin and co-trimoxazole. Patient recovered completely on treatment with high dose of ampicillin and gentamicin for 28 days.
