Mitral Valve Infective Endocarditis due to Streptococcus pyogenes: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Infective endocarditis (IE) due to group A β-hemolytic streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes) has rarely been reported in the literature. We herein report a Streptococcus pyogenes native mitral valve endocarditis in a young patient and a review of the literature. The patient had a native mitral valve endocarditis with vegetation; his hemodynamic stability and a short course of antibiotic treatment prevented urgent surgery on the mitral valve. He was previously treated with cefixime and azithromycin for four days and then, upon hospital admission, with vancomycin plus amoxicillin-clavulanate. After the diagnosis of IE due to Streptococcus pyogenes, treatment with gentamicin (3 mg/kg daily) and ampicillin (12 g/day) was implemented. The patient underwent weekly echocardiographic evaluations during antibiotic treatment to document the resolution of the vegetations. He was discharged to home in good clinical conditions after a four-week course of antibiotic treatment.
