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

Endocarditis involves inflammation of the inner layer of the heart, known as the endocardium. This condition typically presents with vegetation, with bacteria and fungi usually being the primary culprits. It is divided into two main categories based on its cause: infectious endocarditis and noninfectious endocarditis (NIE). Most cases of NIE are associated with malignancies, most of which are adenocarcinomas of the pancreas and lungs. We present the case of a 63-year-old man with recently diagnosed stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer and a previous history of thrombosis to the renal and popliteal arteries alongside an extensive cardiovascular history who presented with blurry vision secondary to multiple acute ischemic strokes, initially thought to be a consequence of septic emboli due to bacterial endocarditis; however, further workup revealed otherwise, illustrating the complex relationship between malignancy and endocarditis and its ramification.
