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

backgroundInfective endocarditis is an atypical complication of pediatric cardiac catheterization procedures including electrophysiology study and ablation. CASE PRESENTATION: A 15-year-old male with neurogenic bladder who had undergone catheter ablation to treat ventricular tachycardia was subsequently diagnosed with endocarditis, likely stemming from post-procedure Enterococcus faecalis urinary tract infection and requiring extensive cardiac surgery.

conclusionThough infectious endocarditis is a rare complication of invasive cardiac procedures, especially in pediatric patients, there have been several cases where patients have been diagnosed with IE stemming from urinary tract infection. Therefore, specific attention to risk of post-procedure urinary tract infection including systemic involvement should be considered for selected patients in whom urinary catheter placement is anticipated.
