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

This is a case of a 92-year-old female with multiple hospitalizations for dyspnea on exertion and hypoxemia. Her symptoms were initially thought to be secondary to pneumonia, and on subsequent admission, culture-negative endocarditis. A computed tomography (CT) of the chest was remarkable for numerous bilateral lung nodules of varying size, some of which had a cavitary appearance raising concern for septic emboli. While a transthoracic echo was unremarkable, a transesophageal echo found a small 3 mm echodensity at the tip of the right coronary leaflet of the aortic valve and a possible mobile echodensity on the tricuspid valve leaflet. These findings further supported a clinical diagnosis of endocarditis with septic emboli in the lungs. Initial bronchoscopy yielded an unremarkable biopsy and a bronchial alveolar lavage with the growth of
