Lactococcus endocarditis after Bentall procedure presenting with intracranial hemorrhage.
Article in IDCases, 2023. 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
Background: Endocarditis is more common in patients with cardiac prostheses. A Bentall procedure entails surgical replacement of the aortic valve, aortic root, and ascending aorta with re-implantation of coronary arteries into the graft. Case: 65-year-old male with history of atrial fibrillation on rivaroxaban, bicuspid aortic valve, and ascending aortic aneurysm with a history of a Bentall procedure two years prior, presented with headache and dysarthria for one day. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale was 3 and CT head showed 2.7 cm left frontal hematoma with extension into the subarachnoid space. Andexanet alfa was given for rivaroxaban reversal followed by cerebral angiogram which showed 5 mm intracranial inferior MCA aneurysm and embolization and coil placement was done. Blood cultures grew Conclusion: With increasing use of bioprosthetic valves, the possibility of infective endocarditis with uncommon pathogens should be kept in mind. Lactococcus commonly affects native valves, however it can affect bioprosthetic valves and can present with mycotic aneurysms.
