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

Francisella tularensis endocarditis is rare and difficult to diagnose, and only a few cases have been described. We report two new cases of endocarditis due to F. tularensis subsp. holarctica, with a favorable evolution after appropriate antibiotic therapy and valve replacement surgery, and review the 5 other cases reported in the literature. This rare infection may be suspected based on the local epidemiology and the patient's exposure factors. A regimen of ciprofloxacin and gentamicin, combined with surgical valve replacement if necessary, appears to be effective in treating F. tularensis endocarditis.
