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

Infective endocarditis (IE) can present in a wide spectrum of systemic signs and symptoms. Here we report a case of a patient who presented with a headache. Upon further investigation, the patient was found to have mitral valve IE. This likely led to a subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to a ruptured mycotic aneurysm. In this case report, we emphasize the importance of noticing early neurological signs of IE even when initial imaging is negative for aneurysmal formation. Further, this patient had a subaortic membrane (SAoM) mimicking the sonographic appearance of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Remarkably, SAoM is usually associated with aortic valvular pathology; however, this patient unusually presented with mitral valve involvement.
