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

backgroundDespite advancements in diagnostics and treatment strategies, infective endocarditis continues to carry a substantial morbidity and mortality risk. In addition, the field of infective endocarditis contains many gaps in evidence, as international guidelines are predominantly based on low-level evidence. To improve infective endocarditis care and survival rates in the Netherlands, adequate evaluation of diagnostics, treatment strategies and outcomes is essential.

methodsTo address this need, a new infective endocarditis registry has been developed by the multidisciplinary ENDOCOR working group with the aim of facilitating nationwide quality control, improving infective endocarditis patient care, and contributing to the numerous gaps in evidence. To optimize data collection, facilitated by the Netherlands Heart Registration (NHR), a pilot project was launched in January 2023 across three selected hospitals.

resultsThe findings from the first 150 registered patients were presented to highlight the registry's potential. Following the pilot, many more centres have initiated data collection, demonstrating national engagement and scalability of the initiative.

conclusionThis article outlines the purpose of ENDOCOR, presents initial pilot data and illustrates the potential of the new national infective endocarditis registry to enhance patient care and support future research.
