Trends in Surgery for Endocarditis: 15-Year Experience From a Statewide Quality Collaborative.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 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
Background: During the past 2 decades, there has been a rise in endocarditis-related hospitalizations and overall health care expenditures in the United States. The objectives of this study were to assess trends in number of cardiac surgical procedures in which endocarditis was the indication for operation and to characterize the demographics and outcomes of patients receiving cardiac surgical procedures for endocarditis. Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter investigation of prospectively collected data from a statewide database of adults undergoing open valvular surgical operations for the treatment of endocarditis in Michigan from January 2008 through June 2022. Trends in patient characteristics, endocarditis cause, and surgical outcomes were analyzed by Cochran-Armitage trend test. Results: In 2008, 3.8% of all valvular operations were performed for endocarditis, with the incidence increasing to 8.9% in 2022 ( Conclusions: Between 2008 and 2022, surgical valvular operations for endocarditis have steadily increased in Michigan without significant changes in operative mortality rates, patient characteristics, operative risk profile, or incidence of health care-associated endocarditis.
