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

A 58-years-old male with history of previous aortic prosthetic endocarditis caused by Enterococcus faecalis was admitted due to dyspnoea and fever. The two sets of blood cultures were positive for Neisseria bacilliformis. Transoesophageal echocardiography did not demonstrate endocarditis signs, but PET-CT scan showed active infection signs in the valvular aortic tube and possible infection in the aortic prosthetic valve. A six-week course of ampicillin was prescribed; gentamicin was added during the first two weeks. The patient continued a favourable clinical course. This is the 3rd described case of N. bacilliformis endocarditis and the first one in a prosthetic valve.
