Endocarditis: Rising Incidence in the Post-COVID-19 Pandemic Era: A Narrative Review.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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) incidence has increased in recent years, driven by emerging risk factors affecting both elderly and young adults. Also, the role of Non-Bacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis (NBTE) is gaining importance as it is a subtle, probably underdiagnosed entity. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the epidemiology of endocarditis, raising questions about their relationship, diagnosis, and management. Diagnosis of IE is sometimes challenging, and classic criteria are now being rediscussed. The aim of our study is to provide a narrative review about how and why IE incidence is rising, the role of NBTE, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on endocarditis patterns, and the current diagnostic challenges we face in the post-pandemic era.
