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

introductionInfective endocarditis (IE) is an important clinical condition with significant morbidity and mortality among the affected population. A single etiological agent is identifiable in more than 90 % of the cases, however, polymicrobial endocarditis (PE) is a rare find, with a poor clinical outcome. Here we report a case of native valve dual pathogen endocarditis caused by CASE PRESENTATION: A 30-year-old male was admitted to a cardiology institute with complaints of low grade intermittent fever and progressive shortness of breath for last two months. He was a known case of rheumatic heart disease and had suffered an episode of IE three years ago. On the basis of clinical presentation and the results of radiological investigations, a diagnosis of infective endocarditis was made. Paired blood samples for culture and sensitivity, sampled before the commencement of antimicrobial therapy, yielded growth of

conclusionThe hallmark of successful treatment in this case was exact identification of pathogens, antibiogram-directed therapy and good liaison between laboratory experts and treating clinicians.
