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 relatively rare but potentially life-threatening disease characterized by substantial mortality and long-term sequelae among the survivors. In recent decades, a dramatic change in the profile of patients diagnosed with IE has been observed primarily in developed countries, most likely due to an aging population and a recent increase in invasive medical procedures. Nowadays, the typical IE patient is usually older, with complex comorbidities, and a history significant for cardiac disease, including degenerative heart valve disease, prosthetic valves, or cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). Moreover, as patient risk factors change, predisposing them to more healthcare-associated IE, the microbiology of IE is also shifting; there are growing concerns regarding the rise in the incidence of IE caused by difficult-to-treat resistance (DTR) bacteria in at-risk patients with frequent healthcare contact. The present review aims to explore the evolving landscape of IE and summarize the current knowledge on novel diagnostics to ensure timely diagnosis and outline optimal therapy for DTR bacterial IE.
