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 (IE) is a systemic disease with a high mortality rate even with intravenous antibiotic therapy. Abnormal valves, including bicuspid aortic valves (BAV), are particularly prone to it compared to normal valves. We present a 22-year-old female who was initially admitted for the management of acute splenic infarction when she was diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic valve. With no evidence of a cardiac source of the embolus, she was discharged on anti-coagulation. However, she returned with acute toe ischemia in a few days. She was found to have
