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

Background: Infective endocarditis is a challenging diagnosis that usually requires cardiovascular image confirmation as part of the approach. Case summary: We present the case of a 35-year-old man who had a previous Bentall-De Bono procedure 4 years prior that included biological, national institute of cardiology (INC)-type, locally manufactured aortic valve replacement and woven Dacron tube graft implantation in the ascending aorta. He was admitted because of dyspnoea, oedema, fever, and syncope. A complete auriculoventricular blockade was diagnosed, requiring cardiac pacing. Also, infective endocarditis (IE) was suspected. Blood cultures showed the isolation of Discussion: Although the other imaging modalities were negative, the high clinical suspicion made it mandatory to continue the study protocol, remarking on the utility of
