Ineffective Antibiotic Prophylaxis: An Unusual Presentation of Infective Endocarditis with Insights into the Appropriateness of Prophylaxis.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The practice of antibiotic prophylaxis for the prevention of infective endocarditis (IE) has undergone a major paradigm shift over the past few decades. From the earlier practice of antibiotic prophylaxis for all patients undergoing dental procedures, since 2006, the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines have now narrowed down the indications to use it only in patients at high risk for IE. A true concern for antibiotic resistance remains eminent when used without appropriate indications. Through this case presentation of IE and the associated preceding use of antibiotics, we take this opportunity to explain the appropriateness of prophylaxis in patients from different risk groups. We also shed some light on alternative, effective, and, yet, harmless measures for the prevention of IE in patients at low risk.
