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

objectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with infective endocarditis (IE) admitted to a tertiary hospital in Brazil, in-hospital mortality and predictors of readmission and mortality up to six months after hospital discharge.

methodA retrospective cohort study, with data collected from medical records of patients with diagnosis of IE hospitalized during the study period. For comparative statistical analysis, patients were grouped according to survival and death outcomes.

resultsA total of 204 patients participated in the study. Healthcare-associated IE accounted for 62.3% of cases, with Staphylococcus aureus as the predominant pathogen. Mortality was significantly associated with complications such heart failure and septic shock (p < 0.001). Diabetes mellitus (OR 7.76; p < 0.001) and acute kidney injury (OR 7.99; p = 0.016) were independent risk factors for hospital readmission. Overall mortality was 50.9%.

conclusionShort-term mortality was high. Healthcare-associated infections were predominant, and complications and comorbidities significantly affect mortality in IE patients. Identifying high-risk patients and optimizing management may improve outcomes.
