Mechanical Valve Endocarditis and Dehiscence from Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans Bacteremia.
Article in Journal of Brown hospital medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
HACEK are gram negative organisms that are typically part of the oropharyngeal flora and are responsible for 1-3% of infective endocarditis cases. We describe an instance of multivalvular endocarditis caused by Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, which led to mechanical aortic valve dehiscence. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans represents approximately 20% of HACEK endocarditis cases and are exclusively found as part of normal oropharyngeal flora and break the vascular boundary during routine oral hygiene or plaque buildup. Antibiotics for 4-6 weeks with ceftriaxone is the mainstay of antibiotic therapy with surgical intervention reserved for those with valve dysfunction resulting in refractory heart failure.
