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

Aspergillus endocarditis is an exceedingly rare entity associated with mortality rates of 60-80% even with combined surgical and medical therapy. It most commonly occurs in immunocompromised patients or those with prosthetic cardiac devices. We present a case with unusually extensive cardiac aspergillosis affecting multiple anatomical sites rarely seen simultaneously in a single patient. Surgical management required radical debridement of infected tissue with subsequent reconstruction. This case uniquely illustrates the spectrum of pathologic involvement across multiple cardiac structures in a single patient, emphasizing both the diagnostic challenges and aggressive surgical approach necessary for survival.
