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

Background: Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is an established risk factor for mortality in several cardiovascular diseases. However, its prognostic value in patients with infective endocarditis (IE) remains unclear. Methods: We enrolled 1705 patients diagnosed with IE and categorized them into three groups based on admitted DBP tertiles: <60 mmHg (n = 505), 60-72 mmHg (n = 629), and ≥72 mmHg (n = 571). Restricted cubic splines were used to assess nonlinear relationships. Multivariate analysis was conducted to identify independent risk factors for adverse outcomes. Results: Patients with DBP <60 mmHg had significantly higher rates of in-hospital mortality (10.7 % vs. 6.4 % vs. 4.4 %; Conclusions: Lower DBP was significantly associated with an increased risk of short-term mortality in IE patients. The finding highlights low DBP as an important clinical marker of disease severity that should warrant enhanced monitoring and management.
