When imaging speaks louder than symptoms: a case report.
Article in European heart journal. Case reports, 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
Background: Late prosthetic valve dehiscence is a rare but life-threatening complication, most commonly associated with infective endocarditis. Low-virulence organisms such as Case summary: A 64-year-old man with a history of surgical aortic valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis (2006) was admitted for elective VVI pacemaker implantation due to permanent atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response and suspected intermittent complete atrioventricular block. During the procedure, fluoroscopy incidentally revealed abnormal mobility of the aortic prosthesis, raising suspicion for valve dehiscence. Transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography confirmed significant prosthetic rocking without relevant paravalvular regurgitation. Urgent surgical re-exploration demonstrated near circumferential dehiscence of the prosthesis. The valve was explanted and replaced with a bioprosthesis. Microbiological cultures of valve tissue and blood grew Discussion: This case highlights a rare presentation of late mechanical prosthetic valve dehiscence due to indolent
