Infective endocarditis and oral health-a Narrative Review.
Review in Cardiovascular diagnosis and therapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 is a rare but usually severe and often fatal inflammatory disease affecting the endocardial surface, native and prosthetic valves or cardiac devices. Besides various staphylococcus species, oral viridans streptococci are known to play a crucial role in the development of endocarditis, especially in patients with underlying cardiac conditions, such as valve replacement, congenital heart disease and a history of previous infective endocarditis. Particularly undetected persisting odontogenic infections and their secondary symptoms, as well as various therapeutic measures for their prevention and treatment, may lead to bacterial transfer from the oral cavity into the bloodstream, eventually enabling bacterial adherence to endocardial surfaces and thus promoting infective endocarditis. The administration of antibiotics prior to dental interventions in order to prevent this mechanism was initially recommended almost seventy years ago and has been the subject of research and intensive discussion ever since. Recently, numerous professional societies worldwide have published guidelines and updates on the prevention of endocarditis with divergent recommendations regarding the requirement of prophylactic antibiotic regimen prior to dental procedures. The objective of this article was therefore to review the currently available literature regarding oral health and infective endocarditis and to examine the rationale behind the inconsistent recommendation situation, critically.
