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) remains a medical challenge. Potential complications such as heart failure and septic embolization may arise, prompting early recognition and treatment. We present the case of a 78-year-old woman with sudden, painless monocular vision loss in the left eye, without other accompanying symptoms. Ophthalmologic evaluation revealed central retinal artery occlusion. A holosystolic murmur was heard at the apex. Further echocardiography confirmed IE. Despite efforts, prognosis of IE is poor, with an in-hospital mortality of 25% in our country, with high risk of embolism (20% to 50%). According to epidemiology, central retinal artery occlusion is a rare complication, resulting from valvular vegetation, occurring in <1% of patients. Unfortunately, there is no accepted treatment to reverse retinal damage caused by central retinal artery occlusion.
