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

backgroundMycotic coronary aneurysms are rare and usually life-threatening conditions that arise from infective endocarditis or systemic infection. CASE SUMMARY: A 56-year-old woman with new-onset ankle swelling was concurrently found to have acute coronary syndrome and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent placement to the left circumflex artery. Ongoing work-up revealed methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia with associated mitral and tricuspid valve endocarditis and septic arthritis. While awaiting definitive surgical repair, she developed native and stent-associated mycotic aneurysms. DISCUSSION: Mycotic aneurysms are serious complications of infective endocarditis, requiring surgical removal of the infected artery, augmented by bypass grafting or patch repair. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: We hope to raise awareness of endocarditis-associated mycotic aneurysms in both native and stented coronary arteries and their potentially devastating course.
