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

Right-sided infective endocarditis (IE) is predominantly less prevalent than left-sided IE in hemodialysis (HD) patients because the left side is attributed to valvular damage from high-pressure circulation, endothelial vascular differences, and exposure to oxygenated blood. Right-sided IE is most commonly associated with intravenous drug use, central venous catheters, or intracardiac devices. However, it is associated with an increased mortality in HD patients. We present a case of an HD patient with no arteriovenous fistula (AVF) infection or history of intravenous drug use, who presented with right-sided IE. A 33-year-old man with a history of diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease on HD via an AVF presented with fever and chills after undergoing thrombectomy for right upper extremity brachial vein deep vein thrombosis, so he was discharged on two weeks of vancomycin administered with dialysis. The patient returned two weeks later for recurrent fever despite adherence to his antibiotic therapy. Blood cultures from previous and current admission grew methicillin-sensitive
