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

A 53-year old woman, who had a history of left ventricular assist device implantation for acromegalic cardiomyopathy and aortic valve closure with bovine pericardial patch, was diagnosed with active endocarditis of aortic valve closure patch. The investigation revealed that infection was limited to the aortic valve closure patch; thus, redo aortic valve closure with a new bovine pericardial patch was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful and the infection was sufficiently controlled. Early surgical intervention is mandatory for a good result without spread of infection to the left ventricular assist device pump and formation of embolism.
