A Diagnostic Odyssey: From Pulmonic to Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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) carries substantial morbidity and mortality despite appropriate antibiotic therapy and surgery. Right-sided IE is uncommon, and isolated pulmonic valve involvement is particularly rare. Echocardiography, transthoracic (TTE) and especially transesophageal (TEE), remains the cornerstone of diagnosis, although sensitivity may be limited, particularly in prosthetic valves. We report a 65-year-old man with prior bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement who presented after outpatient blood cultures grew gram-positive cocci. He described six weeks of exertional dyspnea, drenching night sweats, and 20-lb unintentional weight loss without recreational substance use. Blood cultures speciated to
