An infective endocarditis complicated by multiple septic emboli: case report.
Article in The Egyptian heart journal : (EHJ) : official bulletin of the Egyptian Society of Cardiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundOwing to challenges associated with heart failure and cardiac embolism, infectious endocarditis emerges as a critical pathology characterized by elevated mortality and morbidity rates. Our case stands out as a rare instance of endocarditis involving multisystem embolization, with a successful outcome. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of an 81-year-old man whose admission was further complicated by various septic emboli affecting the brain (manifesting as a brain abscess and ischemic stroke), spleen (resulting in splenic infarction), and spinal cord. The patient received a diagnosis of infective endocarditis affecting the native mitral valve. Following prompt medical and surgical intervention, the overall progression was favorable despite encountering several challenges.
conclusionsThis case is notable for its detailed description and analysis of the multiple embolic events. More importantly, it underscores the significance of timely surgical intervention and the collaborative approach of a heart team in the face of complicated endocarditis marked by numerous septic emboli. Despite the typically grim prognosis associated with such cases, the outcomes emphasize the positive impact of timely surgery on prognosis.
