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

Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis is a rare condition characterized by the formation of noninfectious vegetations on the heart valves. It is related with systemic embolic phenomena occurring predominantly in advanced cancer stages, particularly adenocarcinomas. It is a diagnosis of exclusion based on the clinical context, echocardiographic findings of a vegetation, and negative blood cultures, and distinction between infective endocarditis is challenging. We report a case of a 66-year-old woman, with history of previously treated breast and urothelial carcinoma, presenting with constitutional syndrome and pulmonary thromboembolism. Computed tomography scan revealed systemic embolic phenomena and retroperitoneal lymphadenopathies. A vegetation in the mitral valve constituted a finding on echocardiography, causing severe mitral regurgitation, which led to severe acute heart failure and culminated in patient's death. Subsequent results of immunohistochemistry of the lymph node biopsy yielded the recurrence of urothelial carcinoma.
