Septic abortion complicated by infective endocarditis, mitral valve vegetation, and septic and reactive arthritis: A case report.
Article in Case reports in women's health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundSeptic abortion with multisystem involvement is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Access to care and legalization of abortion have greatly diminished the incidence of serious sequelae worldwide. Two complications, infective endocarditis and septic arthritis, are rarely encountered in contemporary practice. CASE: A 30-year-old woman developed infective endocarditis, septic arthritis, and reactive arthritis concurrently one week after undergoing dilation and curettage for an incomplete abortion with perioperative administration of doxycycline. She required systemic antibiotics, drainage and debridement of her right ankle, and a robotic-assisted mitral valve replacement due to septic vegetation.
conclusionSeptic abortion with life-threatening systemic complications is rarely encountered in modern practice. Prompt surgical uterine evacuation and broad-spectrum antibiotics are indicated to prevent systemic complications. Multispecialty consultation is usually required when endocarditis, arthritis, and other systemic complications are encountered.
