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

Infective endocarditis represents a rare complication among patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2); it is often a nosocomial infection and the symptomatology can be masked by respiratory failure symptoms from SARS-CoV-2 bronchopneumonia. Management of patients with severe forms of SARS-COV-2 infection who also have associated infective endocarditis is very difficult, especially in mono-specialty hospitals (such as infectious diseases hospitals) where access to cardiological investigations is limited. The current study presents the case of a 73-year-old woman with increased cardiovascular risk (high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus and obesity), with uninvestigated ischaemic heart disease, who was admitted to the Department of Infectious Diseases in the Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital (Constanta, Romania) due to SARS-CoV-2. Although the evolution was initially favorable, the condition of the patient significantly deteriorated on the 14th day of hospitalization due to the development of
