From flank pain to splenic abscess: a complex case of infective endocarditis with literature review.
Review in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundInfective endocarditis (IE) is a severe condition characterized by inflammation of the heart endocardium and valves, commonly caused by Gram-positive bacteria. Complications such as embolic phenomena and organ abscesses can arise, necessitating timely diagnosis and intervention. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 20-year-old female with a history of cerebral and splenic infarctions due to IE. The patient presented with left-sided flank pain, urinary burning, and fever. Examination revealed mitral and aortic valve involvement, splenomegaly, and neurological deficits. Despite initial antibiotic therapy, the patient developed a splenic abscess and drug-induced neutropenia. She required aortic valve replacement and was successfully managed with a multidisciplinary approach.
conclusionMultidisciplinary management, including timely surgical intervention and advanced imaging, is essential for favorable outcomes in IE patients. This case underscores the importance of early detection and tailored treatment strategies in managing severe complications associated with IE.
