More than Garden Variety: Massive Vegetations from Infective Endocarditis.
Article in Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 classically involves non-sterile vegetations on valvular surfaces in the heart. Feared complications include embolization and acute heart failure. Surgical intervention achieves source control and alleviates valvular regurgitation in complicated cases. Vegetations >1 cm are often intervened upon, making massive vegetations uncommon in modern practice. We report the case of a 39-year-old female with history of intravenous drug abuse who presented with a serpiginous vegetation on the native tricuspid valve and methicillin-resistant
