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

Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis (PVE) is a rare condition. Known risk factors in previous case reports were intravenous drug abuse and congenital heart disease. Epidemiology of PVE has been changing. It is now being reported specially following invasive healthcare-related procedures even in patients with structurally normal heart. Vast majority of patients present with respiratory symptoms and diagnosis of endocarditis may be challenging unless there is high index of suspicion. Various microorganisms had been isolated as aetiological agents; however,
