Marantic Endocarditis in Malignancy: A Case Report of a Challenging Diagnosis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Marantic endocarditis is a condition characterized by sterile vegetations in the heart valves, and is much rarer than infectious endocarditis. It's typically associated with conditions such as cancer or autoimmune diseases. We report the case of a patient with stage four lung cancer, presenting with fever after chemotherapy, and diagnosed with marantic endocarditis, after extensive testing to exclude an infectious agent. The patient's imaging techniques suggested infectious embolization to the liver and spleen, which supported the diagnostic hypothesis of infectious endocarditis, but the liver biopsy was positive for metastasis. Oncology was consulted for follow-up, and the patient was discharged on anticoagulation therapy, the standard treatment for marantic endocarditis. This case underscores the difficulty of diagnosing marantic endocarditis and the extensive testing required, considering its poor prognosis and the importance of treatment.
