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

Infective endocarditis (IE) is notorious for causing septic emboli in major organs, especially the brain, spleen, and lungs. These emboli are expected to be caused by the shedding of vegetations that form on the endocardium of the heart. Therefore, positive findings of IE are generally expected on cardiac imaging, such as transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), when septic emboli are identified in a high-risk patient. This case highlights negative TTE and TEE findings in a patient with infective endocarditis who had an extensive burden of bilateral, multiple pulmonary emboli.
