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

A 61-year-old patient presented with drowsiness, decreased appetite and weight loss. On examination he had several splinter haemorrhages and a tender mass over the right temporal region. Respiratory and abdominal examinations were unremarkable and heart sounds were normal with no clinically audible murmurs. He spiked regular temperatures and consequently had several blood cultures taken. Transthoracic and transoeseophageal echocardiogram showed a 3 cm mitral valve vegetation. MRI confirmed suspicions of septic emboli in the brain. Blood cultures grew Rothia aeria and he was started on benzylpenicillin, rifampicin and gentamicin. After a period of observation he deteriorated clinically and biochemically, surgical intervention therefore ensued with an urgent metallic mitral valve replacement. Nineteen days postsurgery the patient was successfully discharged on outpatient antibiotic therapy and warfarin. In view of complications such as embolisation and cerebral infarction, R aeria endocarditis should be managed aggressively and with a high index of clinical suspicion.
