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 rarely results in mitral stenosis. This report presents a case of prosthetic valve infective endocarditis caused by Case summary: A 78-year-old Japanese man underwent aortic and mitral bioprosthetic valve replacement six years prior to the initiation of hormone therapy for prostate cancer. Three weeks after hormone therapy initiation, the patient developed exertional dyspnoea that progressively worsened and ultimately led to orthopnoea. Chest radiography revealed pulmonary congestion, and transthoracic echocardiography revealed mitral stenosis that was not present three months previously. The patient progressed to heart failure, and bicuspid valve replacement was performed. The excised aortic and mitral bioprosthetic valves were covered with vegetations, and pathological examination confirmed the presence of Discussion: In patient with rapidly progressive prosthetic valve stenosis after valve replacement, infective endocarditis due to
