Importance of In-Hospital Prospective Registry and Infectious Endocarditis Heart Team to Monitor and Improve Quality of Care in Patients with Infectious Endocarditis.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
aimTo investigate the value of prospective in-hospital registry data and the impact of an infectious endocarditis heart team approach (IEHT) on improvement in quality of care and monitor outcomes in hospitalized patients with IE.
methodsBetween December 2014 and the end of 2019, 160 patients were hospitalized in one centre with the definite diagnosis of infectious endocarditis (IE) and entered in a prospective registry. From 2017, an IEHT was introduced. Propensity score matching was used to assess the impact of an IEHT approach on clinical outcomes.
resultsMedian age was 72.5 y (62.75-80.00), diabetes was present in 33.1%, chronic kidney disease in 27.5%, COPD in 17.5%, and a history of ischaemic heart disease in 30.6%. Prosthetic valve IE was observed in 43.8% and device-related IE in 16.9% of patients. Staphylococcus (37.5%) was the most frequent pathogen followed by streptococcus (24.4%) and enterococcus (23.1%). Overall, 30-day and 1-year mortality were 19.4% and 37.5%, respectively. The introduction of prospective data collection and IE heart team was associated with a trend towards reduction of adjusted 1-year mortality (26.5% IEHT vs. 41.2% controls,
conclusionsUse of a prospective registry of IE coupled with a heart team approach was associated with more efficient patient management and a trend towards lower mortality. Prospective data collection and dedicated IEHT have the potential to improve patient care and clinical outcomes.
