Blood Culture-Negative Endocarditis Secondary to Skin Popping.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Infectious endocarditis (IE) is a diagnosis in which thorough evaluation must be performed and certain diagnostic criteria must be met. Thorough history and detailed physical examination can affect and guide the management of a patient from the very beginning. One of the main causes of endocarditis that physicians deal with in the hospital is intravenous drug abuse. This case report is of a 29-year-old male presenting to a rural emergency department with a two-week history of altered mental status after being struck on the head with a metal pipe. The patient also endorsed using intravenous drugs along with subcutaneous injections (skin popping). The patient was initially treated as a traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, but it was later found to be secondary to septic emboli from blood culture-negative endocarditis. Throughout this case report, we will approach the difficulties of diagnosing IE in a patient who represented many of the less common findings including dermatologic manifestations of diseases such as Osler nodes and Janeway lesions.
