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

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is associated with other congenital cardiovascular anomalies, including ventricular septal defects (VSDs). These anomalies can cause a systolic murmur; however, CoA sometimes remains undiagnosed, even when a VSD is detected in newborns. The coexistence of CoA and VSD poses a high risk of infective endocarditis (IE), making an early diagnosis and treatment crucial. We herein report a case of IE complicated by CoA and VSD that was suspected based on auscultation and phonocardiographic findings. When a precordial systolic murmur is heard, auscultation of the patient's back is essential for CoA detection. In addition, phonocardiography is helpful for visually identifying coexisting cardiovascular diseases.
