Infective Endocarditis of the TAVI Prosthesis: Emerging New Challenges.

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
A 74-year-old patient presented to the emergency department with aggravating asthenia and persistent fever over the course of the last 2 weeks. He benefited 3 years prior from a self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for symptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis, as he refused open heart surgery. The blood workup showed leukocytosis and high C-reactive protein levels. However, the microbiological analysis remained negative. During his hospital stay, a transesophageal echocardiogram was performed, which showed thickening of the transcatheter heart valve leaflets and a vegetation of almost 2 cm attached to the stent of the TAVI. A high suspicion of endocarditis was established at this stage even in the absence of microbiological documentation. Surgery showed extensive damage to the prosthesis and consisted of the careful disengagement of the TAVI followed by a successful aortic valve replacement. The microbiological analysis of the excised TAVI identified
