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

Tricuspid valve infective endocarditis is a rare disease in non-intravenous drug users. It can occur with congenital heart disease, foreign bodies such as central venous catheters and intracardiac devices, and in immunocompromised patients. In the present case, there was a left-sided breast abscess associated with tricuspid valve endocarditis in a patient without any apparent underlying causative factors. We present a case of a young female in her early 20s who arrived at the emergency department with complaints of fever, epistaxis, and vomiting. On clinical examination, she was found to have a fading 2 cm pinkish left breast skin lesion, which had formed on her breast 10 days ago. Blood cultures identified methicillin-resistant
