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

Cryptococcal endocarditis has rarely been reported. Most patients with this condition are associated with risk factors, such as structural heart disease/valve replacement, immunodeficiency/immunosuppression or drug abuse. We report a case of cryptococcal endocarditis of the native valves without any risk factors. A 50-year-old Chinese man was admitted to hospital with fever for 1 month without any underlying heart disease, immunodeficiency, or drug use. He was diagnosed as having
