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

Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) is considered the third most common source of infective endocarditis. Some of the published reports linked its origin to colorectal cancer. We report a 70-year-old male patient diagnosed with E. faecalis infective endocarditis complicated by myocardial infarction. The patient also experienced symptoms of melena and anemia, prompting a colonoscopy. A colon mass was found and a biopsy revealed adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent a left hemicolectomy. In addition to that, he was treated for his cardiac issues. Many studies suggest screening for colonoscopy in patients with E. faecalis infective endocarditis to investigate its origin and potential association with colorectal cancer.
