Pulmonary Valve Endocarditis With Mycotic Pulmonary Aneurysm Revealing a Previously Undiagnosed Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defect in an Adult.

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 severe infection affecting the endocardial surfaces, including the heart valves and chordae tendineae. Ventricular septal defect (VSD), a common congenital heart defect, is associated with an elevated risk of developing IE. Pulmonary valve infective endocarditis (PVIE) is rare, especially in patients without typical risk factors, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality if not diagnosed and treated promptly. We present here a rare case of PVIE complicated by a pulmonary artery aneurysm, which led to the incidental discovery of a perimembranous VSD in a 33-year-old man. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed the VSD with pulmonary valve (PV) vegetations, while CT imaging identified a mycotic aneurysm and splenic infarction.
