Neurological Complications of Infective Endocarditis.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 narrative review and update is to summarize the current knowledge and provide recent advances on the neurologic complications of infective endocarditis. RECENT
findingsNeurological complications occur in about one-fourth of patients with infective endocarditis. Brain MRI represents a major tool for the identification of asymptomatic lesions, which occur in most of the patients with infective endocarditis. The usefulness of systematic brain imaging and the preferred treatment of patients with infective endocarditis and silent brain lesions remains uncertain. The basis of treatment of infective endocarditis is early antimicrobial therapy. In stroke due to infective endocarditis, anticoagulation and thrombolysis should be avoided. Endovascular treatment can be useful for both acute septic emboli and mycotic aneurysms, but evidence is still limited. In patients with neurological complications, cardiac surgery can be safely performed early, if indicated. The optimal management of a patients with neurological complications of infective endocarditis needs an individualized case discussion and the participation of a multidisciplinary team including neurologists, cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, and infectious disease specialists.
