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

Background: Infective endocarditis due to Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of adults treated for S-IE at 4 academic health systems in different US states from 2015 to 2021. Multivariable logistic regression analyzed the association of inpatient mortality with procedural management and combination antibiotic treatment. Results: A total of 159 cases of S-IE were identified with a qualitative overall increase across the period, and a peak in 2019, although trends varied by site. Seventy-five were due to IDU, 57% involved a single left-sided valve, and inpatient mortality was 21%. In adjusted analyses, including 117 cases from 3 sites, lower inpatient mortality was associated with procedural intervention (odds ratio 0.14; 95% confidence interval, .03-.64) and combination antibiotic therapy (odds ratio 0.15; 95% confidence interval, .03-.74). Discussion: In this multicenter study, we found that S-IE may be increasing, is commonly associated with IDU, is treated with varying strategies and carries high inpatient mortality. Procedural intervention and combination antibiotics were associated with lower mortality. Our study is limited by varying methods of case identification and a lack of data on clinical severity and surgical indications. Further study is urgently needed to define best management practices.
