Postoperative follow-up of 221 patients with infective endocarditis from Gaoligong mountain area of Yunnan in China: a retrospective, single-center, observational cohort study.

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
Background: Despite improvements in management, infective endocarditis (IE) is still associated with high mortality and morbidity. The outcome of patients with IE remains unclear in high-altitude areas of China. To characterize the epidemiological features and surgical outcomes, a retrospective analysis was conducted to 221 patients diagnosed with IE from a single center. In addition, to assess the prognosis of patients, a multivariate logistic regression model was performed to analyze the affecting risk factors. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 221 patients with IE who underwent surgical treatment at the Department of Cardiac Surgery of Yan'an Hospital Affiliated to Kunming Medical University from January 2013 to December 2019. The analysis evaluated patient demographics, pathogenic bacterial composition, echocardiography results, and surgical treatment outcomes. After a 1-year follow-up period, the mortality rate was statistically analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups based on their survival status: those who survived and those who did not. Relevant factors were compared between the two groups, and a multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors that affect the prognosis of patients with IE. Results: Out of the 221 patients diagnosed with IE, 164 were male and 57 were female, with an average age of 39.25±14.36 years. The most common underlying heart diseases were bicuspid aortic valve disease (24.9%), congenital heart disease (19.5%), rupture of aortic sinus aneurysm (5.0%) and rheumatic valvular disease (2.3%). The blood culture had a positive rate of 48.42% (107/221), with Conclusions: IE primarily affects young and middle-aged men with rheumatic heart valvular disease as the main underlying heart disease and
