Neurologic Complications of Infective Endocarditis: Recent Findings.
Review in Current infectious disease reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purpose of reviewThe purpose of this paper is to provide recent insights in management of neurologic complications of left-sided infective endocarditis (IE). RECENT
findingsCerebral lesions observed in IE patients are thought to involve synergistic pathophysiological mechanisms including thromboembolism, sepsis, meningitis, and small-vessel cerebral vasculitis. Brain MRI represents a major tool for the detection of asymptomatic events occurring in the majority of patients. The latter can impact therapeutic decisions and prognosis, especially when cardiac surgery is indicated. In patients presenting with neurologic complications, surgery could be safely performed earlier than previously thought. Symptomatic cerebral ischemic or hemorrhagic events occur in 20-55% of IE patients, whereas asymptomatic events are detected in 60-80% of patients undergoing systematic brain MRI. Management of such patients requires an experienced multidisciplinary team. Recent studies suggest that early cardiac surgery, when indicated, can be performed safely in patients with cerebral ischemic events. Other important issues include the appropriate use of anti-infective and anti-thrombotic agents, and endovascular treatment for mycotic aneurysms. Altered mental status at IE onset, which is associated with brain injury, is a major determinant of short-term outcome.
