Strokes and Diagnostic Dilemmas: Non-bacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis Mimicking a Flail Mitral Valve.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a rare condition characterized by sterile vegetations on cardiac valves, commonly associated with malignancy or autoimmune disorders. These vegetations pose a significant risk of embolization, leading to adverse complications such as ischemic stroke. We present a case of a 60-year-old female initially suspected of having a brain tumor, later diagnosed with multifocal strokes due to NBTE. Initial interpretation of a flail mitral valve was subsequently revised to NBTE on further assessment, but this resulted in a delay of anticoagulation initiation. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary management of NBTE to prevent recurrent embolic events, highlighting the diagnostic challenges and the role of anticoagulation in its treatment.
