Infective Endocarditis in Pregnancy Diagnosed Early Based on Elevated D-Dimer Levels: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We discuss a case where the blood cultures of a patient with clinical chorioamnionitis and elevated D-dimer levels enabled early diagnosis of infective endocarditis. A 31-year-old female with a 39-week pregnancy presented to the obstetrics department with a fever. Cardiotocography revealed fetal tachycardia and severe late deceleration. Preoperative examinations revealed a leukocyte count of 15,900/μL and D-dimer levels of 86.2 μg/mL. She was diagnosed with a non-reassuring fetal status due to clinical chorioamnionitis; accordingly, an emergency cesarean section was performed. Imaging studies ruled out the possibility of a thromboembolism. Subsequent maternal blood cultures were positive for
