Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis in a patient with primary antiphospholipid syndrome.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is described in patients with mucin-producing cancers and connective tissue disorders (usually SLE). We report NBTE in the setting of primary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS). A 65-year-old female with APS was incidentally found to have thickened mitral leaflets on transthoracic echocardiogram with no signs of infection. Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) showed a mobile mitral mass (1.4 × 0.7 cm) and moderate mitral regurgitation. Differential diagnoses included bacterial endocarditis, NBTE, thrombus or tumor. Given the history of primary APS, the absence of fever and negative blood cultures, NBTE was considered. Low-molecular-weight heparin, hydroxychloroquine and corticosteroid were initiated. Repeat TEE in a week revealed shrinkage of the mass (0.6 × 0.7 cm), indicating an inflammatory nature. Lifelong anticoagulation is indicated regardless of embolism occurrence. Hydroxychloroquine and corticosteroids may have roles in the treatment. Determining and treating the underlying etiology is important.
