All Endocarditis Is Not Infective: Libman-Sacks Endocarditis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE) is an uncommon disorder that might be confused with infective endocarditis. It is one of the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) manifestations that could present with heart failure. We report a 12-year-old girl who presented with a history of shortness of breath, joint pain for four weeks, and fever for about one week. On examination, she was pale, edematous, and febrile. Her cardiac exam revealed a pan-systolic murmur of mitral regurgitation, harsh, grade 3/6 best heard at the apex. She was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus with lupus nephritis and carditis. Her echocardiography revealed severe mitral regurgitation with nodular thickening of the valve in keeping with a diagnosis of LSE. After appropriate management of her underlying disorder using immunosuppressive, we saw a dramatic clinical improvement and her heart failure symptoms resolved. This case proves that SLE can have significant cardiac involvement and a proper evaluation would help in overall management and prognosis.
