Right-sided infective endocarditis or thrombus? Report of two cases diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography.

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
backgroundRight-sided infective endocarditis (RSIE) is a relatively uncommon condition which is difficult to distinguish from thrombus, particularly when the site of infection or the patient's symptoms are atypical. There have been few reports exploring the differential diagnostic and analytical features between RSIE and thrombus. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we presented two cases of RSIE-one involving the tricuspid valve and the other affecting the pulmonary artery. Notably, the second case was initially misdiagnosed as thrombus based on the findings of by computed tomography angiography(CTA).
conclusionsVegetation and thrombus can be distinguished according to the nature of the mass, its attachment location, and the clinical manifestation. Echocardiography can observe both the location and size of the mass, and the dynamic changes in cardiac hemodynamics and cardiac morphology, thereby facilitating an effective distinction between vegetation and thrombus.
