A Case of Bartonella Quintana Culture-Negative Endocarditis.
Article in The American journal of case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
BACKGROUND Culture-negative Bartonella quintana endocarditis is challenging to diagnose and is associated with high mortality rates. Diagnostic confirmation of Bartonella quintana infection requires specialized assays, as identifying Bartonella henselae endocarditis by serology can be difficult due to the high rate of serological cross-reactivity. This is a case report of culture-negative Bartonella quintana endocarditis that was diagnosed with epidemiologic data, histology, and nucleic acid amplification testing. CASE REPORT A 28-year-old man with a history of homelessness was admitted to hospital with worsening productive cough, weight loss, and abdominal pain. A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed pulmonary valve vegetation and several aortic valve vegetations. His hospital course was complicated by cardiogenic shock and septic shock requiring transfer to a tertiary care medical intensive care unit. Although blood cultures remained negative for bacterial infection, serology testing was positive for Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana IgM and IgG. Nucleic acid amplification testing for 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) using valve tissue was diagnostic for Bartonella quintana. CONCLUSIONS This case of culture-negative Bartonella quintana endocarditis demonstrates the use of diagnostic nucleic acid amplification methods to confirm the diagnosis.
