Multimodality Imaging in Infective Endocarditis: A Clinical Approach to Diagnosis.
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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) is a life-threatening condition with a rising incidence, demanding rapid and precise diagnosis. While echocardiography remains the cornerstone of initial evaluation, its limitations in complex cases-such as those involving prosthetic valves or cardiac devices-are well-known. This review synthesizes current evidence and guidelines to outline a practical, multimodality imaging approach for IE. We emphasize that integrating advanced techniques like cardiac computed tomography (CT) and [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) early in the diagnostic pathway, particularly in high-risk scenarios, significantly enhances diagnostic certainty, guides therapeutic decisions, and improves patient outcomes. A tailored imaging strategy, driven by clinical presentation and integrated within a multidisciplinary endocarditis team, is paramount for modern IE management.
