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

Background: Many patients with Objectives: To assess the outcomes for adults with Patients and methods: We retrospectively reviewed adults who received at least 2 weeks duration of OPAT for Results: Forty-four patients met inclusion criteria. Fifteen were female (34%). The median age was 80 (IQR 71.5 to 84) years. Twenty-two (50%) had prosthetic valve (PV), 15 (34%) native valve (NV), 3 (7%) NV and/or cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infection, 3 (7%) PV and/or CIED infection, and 1 (2%) repaired valve endocarditis. Patients received a median of 16.5 days inpatient and 28 days OPAT antibiotic treatment. The 12 month outcome was cure ( Conclusions: This study adds to the accumulating evidence supporting the treatment of
