Clinical presentation, microbiological profile, and management challenges of infective endocarditis: a retrospective study from a high volume cardiac centre in Pakistan.
Article in The Egyptian heart journal : (EHJ) : official bulletin of the Egyptian Society of Cardiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundInfective endocarditis (IE) is a potentially fatal condition with high morbidity and mortality. This single center study was designed to assess the clinical presentation, causative organisms, antibiotic resistance, and clinical outcomes of IE in patients treated at a tertiary care cardiac center in Pakistan.
methodsA retrospective observational study was conducted at a large tertiary care cardiology center in Peshawar, Pakistan from July 2021 to July 2023. Data was collected from hospital records, including demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata version 14.2.
resultsAmong 84 patients, 41.7% were male with a mean population age of 49.17 ± 18.55 years, and an average BMI of 27.72 ± 4.37 kg/m
conclusionIE presents diverse etiologies and outcomes, necessitating targeted management strategies to reduce antibiotic resistance and improve outcomes in such a challenging subsets of patients.
