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

Infective endocarditis is rare but carries significant morbidity, including risk of systemic embolization. A 67-year-old woman presented with endocarditis. Evaluation revealed a mobile mitral valve vegetation and a right atrial mass. Owing to prohibitive surgical risk, percutaneous aspiration thrombectomy was pursued. Immediate preprocedural transesophageal echocardiography revealed that the mitral mass had embolized in the interval, and it was incidentally found in the common left femoral artery on ultrasound. The patient underwent aspiration thrombectomy of the right atrial mass and open surgical extraction of the mitral valve vegetation from the femoral artery in the same index procedure. This case highlights the high embolization potential of these types of valvular vegetations and the need for rapid intervention.
