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

Background/purpose: The epidemiology of infective endocarditis (IE) is under constant change due to the aging society and increases in antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. However, IE remains severe. This study aimed to review the current clinical characteristics of IE and the antimicrobial susceptibility of oral bacteria (OB) isolated from blood cultures to implement appropriate antimicrobial prophylaxis. Materials and methods: We retrospectively investigated the clinical features of 180 patients with IE in whom OB and pathogens except OB (eOB) were identified as causative microorganisms via blood cultures. The susceptibility of the OB group to eight antibiotics was examined by broth microdilution. Results: Among causative microorganisms, the isolation rate of staphylococci was slightly higher than that of OB; however, the difference was not significant (36.7% vs. 33.8%, Conclusion: OBs were susceptible to ampicillin. However, the susceptibility of OBs to clarithromycin and azithromycin was significantly lower than that to ampicillin and clindamycin. These results are important and should help decisions regarding guide antimicrobial prophylaxis.
