Endovascular Endocarditis Within the Superior Vena Cava of a Patient With a Tunneled Catheter for Hemodialysis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Tunneled hemodialysis catheters, such as permacaths, are frequently used for vascular access in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The use of these catheters is associated with bloodstream infections, thromboses, and infective endocarditis. While valvular endocarditis is a more common entity, non-valvular endovascular endocarditis is less commonly reported in the literature. Fibrin sheaths which form along the catheter may act as niduses for infection, which can then seed the surrounding tissues. We present a case of infective endovascular endocarditis originating from an infected fibrin sheath in the superior vena cava of an ESRD patient.
