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
The Commando procedure for infective endocarditis is a high-risk intervention. However, infective endocarditis involving the intervalvular fibrosa is fatal in the absence of surgery. A 41-year-old man with no medical history visited a doctor with chest pain and dyspnoea. Ascending aortic dissection and vegetation on the mitral valve were noted on echocardiography, so he was transferred to our hospital. The diagnosis was dissecting aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva and acute heart failure due to aortic regurgitation, mitral regurgitation and infective endocarditis. We decided on emergency surgery. Intraoperatively, we confirmed abscess extending to the left atrial roof and destruction of the intervalvular fibrosa, so we performed the Root-Commando procedure. The patient was saved and discharged 47 days after transfer to our hospital through the reoperation on postoperative day 30.
