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

Nonvalvular cardiovascular device infections, although rare in most cases, represent substantial clinical challenges due to their life-threatening potential and diagnostic complexity. Although infections associated with prosthetic valves, cardiovascular implantable electronic devices, vascular grafts, and mechanical circulatory support devices have garnered considerable attention and specific guidance, infections of other nonvalvular cardiovascular devices have not. Therefore, this Science Advisory focuses on a contemporary profile of other nonvalvular device infections and includes an algorithm for their evaluation in patients with bloodstream infection, which is common, particularly among older individuals.
