A case of native tricuspid valve Neisseria mucosa/sicca species infective endocarditis complicated by septic pulmonary emboli.
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
We report a rare case of native tricuspid valve infective endocarditis caused by Neisseria mucosa/sicca, a gram-negative diplococcus which colonizes the upper respiratory tract. A female in her late 20 s with a history of injection drug use (IDU) who recently completed treatment for methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) native tricuspid valve infective endocarditis presented to the hospital with a 6-week history of increasing chest pain, shortness of breath and night sweats. Blood cultures grew Neisseria mucosa/sicca species in 3 of 3 sets. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed a large 3 cm × 2.2 cm vegetation on the tricuspid valve with severe regurgitation. The patient was initially treated with ceftriaxone and gentamicin. Her case was complicated by ongoing septic pulmonary emboli ultimately require pulmonary endarterectomy and repair of her tricuspid valve. We hope this case highlights a rare but known cause of infective endocarditis especially in patients with a history of IDU who may lick their needles, which predisposes those individuals to intravenous introduction of oral bacteria.
