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

backgroundNeurologic complications are frequently seen in infective endocarditis (IE) and were identified in about 70% of patients with IE. However, the imaging features of the cerebral septic infarction were less investigated. PURPOSE: To demonstrate the imaging features of the cerebral septic infarction of IE. MATERIAL AND

methodsTwo patients were clinically diagnosed as IE according to the modified Duke criterion. We studied their imaging profiles and reviewed the literature of the imaging features of neurologic complications of IE.

resultsThe critical features are multiple ischemic and hemorrhagic lesions, most of which locate at the cortical-medullary junction. The septic infarctions are irregular patchy in shape and have characteristic imaging features indicating complications of IE.

conclusionMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with different sequences can detect the features and provide clinical evidence to physicians to make the correct diagnoses and then the treatment plans.
