Predictors of Mortality in Patients with Cardiac Device-Related Infective Endocarditis.
Article in Tropical medicine and infectious disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Infective endocarditis (IE) associated with implantable cardiac devices (ICD) is a serious disease with high mortality rates. The increased number of ICD implants has led to increased ICD infection rates. The aim of this study was to characterize clinical, laboratory profiles and the prognosis of cardiac-device-related endocarditis (CDIE), as well as to identify predictors of in-hospital death. A total of 274 patients with IE were included in a prospective cohort (2007-2019). From these, 82 patients (30%) had CDIE (46 pacemakers, 23 cardioverter defibrillators, and 13 cardiac resynchronization therapy devices). Predisposed conditions; clinical, laboratory and echocardiographic parameters; etiologic agents; and in-hospital outcomes were evaluated. The mean age was 55.8 ± 16.4 years, where 64.6% were male. Among the clinical manifestations at diagnosis, the most prevalent were heart failure (67.9%), fever (60.5%), anorexia/hyporexia (44.4%), and heart murmur (37.5%). The median serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level at diagnosis was 63 mg/L (interquartile range [IQR] 20-161). Etiological agents were identified through positive blood cultures in 55% of cases. The main etiologic agents were negative-coagulase staphylococci (19.5%) and
