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

Rothia mucilaginosa is an infrequent opportunistic pathogen that affects immunocompromised patients, with a high affinity to prosthetic devices. Infections in immunocompetent individuals are extremely rare and usually related to pre-existing valvular heart disease. We report the first case of Rothia endocarditis in an immunocompetent patient without an underlying valve disease.
