A Case of Streptococcus thoraltensis Bacteremia and Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis in a 68-Year-Old Vietnamese Man.
Article in The American journal of case reports, 2020. 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
BACKGROUND Streptococcus thoraltensis is a rare cause of human disease. This report describes a patient with infective endocarditis caused by S. thoraltensis and complicated by ischemic stroke. CASE REPORT A 68-year-old man was admitted for a 12-day duration of fever. He had a history of severe aortic valve stenosis, for which he underwent prosthetic valve replacement, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Echocardiography revealed vegetation attached to the right coronary cusp of the prosthetic aortic valve and rupture of the sinus of Valsalva into the right ventricle. Blood cultures were positive for S. thoraltensis. He experienced an ischemic stroke involving the vegetation of the aortic valve and died of acute heart failure. CONCLUSIONS S. thoraltensis may be considered an emerging pathogen in patients with infective endocarditis.
