Multiple pulmonary artery mycotic aneurysms and septic emboli in a patient with tricuspid valve vegetation and infective endocarditis.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Mycotic pulmonary artery aneurysms are rare infectious aneurysmal dilatations of the pulmonary arteries in patients with risk factors of intravenous drug use, endocarditis, or congenital heart disease. Timely diagnosis is crucial given high mortality rate associated with this condition. We present a rare case of a 24-year old male with history of intravenous drug use who presented with fever, hypoxia, and bacteremia. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with infective endocarditis with septic vegetations of the tricuspid valve. Computed tomography angiogram demonstrated multiple bilateral mycotic pulmonary artery aneurysms and associated pulmonary septic emboli in this patient with infective endocarditis. Treatment options for mycotic pulmonary artery aneurysms are variable and include conservative management, endovascular coil intervention, or surgical resections. Presence of hemoptysis and increasing aneurysm size may warrant aggressive intervention.
