Perivalvular Complication in Infective Endocarditis: An Integrated Imaging Approach in the Diagnostic Workup.
Review in Journal of cardiovascular echography. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare disease, but its impact is significant as it affects 3-10/100,000 per year in the population. According to the current guidelines ESC 2023, the evidence of lesions characteristic of IE is a major diagnostic criterion. Echocardiography is the first-line imaging technique to diagnose IE and to assess the structural and functional damage of cardiac structures. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is recommended in patients with an inconclusive or negative TTE, in patients with high suspicion of IE, as well as in patients with a positive TTE, to document local complications. Other imaging modalities, such as cardiac computed tomography and nuclear imaging, are needed to confirm or exclude the diagnosis of IE, to characterize the extent of the cardiac lesions, and to diagnose cardiac complications. The aim of this article was to review the potential role of cardiac imaging, especially of TEE and cardiac CT in evaluating IE perivalvular complications.
