Infectious Endocarditis With Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and Cerebral Infarction in an Atopic Dermatitis Patient During Unsanitary Cupping Therapy.
Article in Cureus, 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
A 23-year-old man with a history of untreated atopic dermatitis (AD) presented with a headache and fever. The patient history revealed that he purchased a medical cupping kit on the internet and performed cupping therapy at the flexion of the right elbow joint without disinfecting. Brain computed tomography revealed subarachnoid hemorrhage in the right frontal sulcus, and brain magnetic resonance imaging indicated a small cerebral infarction. Cardiac ultrasonography revealed a mobile cord-shaped echo in the posterior apex of the mitral valve, which was later diagnosed as infectious endocarditis (IE). This case of IE in a patient with untreated AD was caused by a skin infection due to unsanitary cupping therapy.
