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: Endocarditis is an important manifestation of extra-intestinal Whipple's disease. The etiologic agent, the bacterium Case Summary: A 67-year-old male was seen in an infectious disease clinic for evaluation of a possible infectious etiology of chronic musculoskeletal pain with exercise intolerance. He had a history of an embolic stroke 2 years earlier, echocardiographic evidence of aortic valve thickening, and multiple negative blood cultures. Following an evaluation that included serology and extended incubation blood culture, plasma was sent for metagenomic sequencing of microbial cell-free DNA, which was positive for Conclusion: The patient's musculoskeletal complaints and his exercise intolerance resolved after treatment with ceftriaxone and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. To our knowledge, this is the first report of
