Molecular diagnosis of Fusobacterium necrophorum infection (Lemierre's syndrome).
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Presented here is the case of a 27-year-old male with atypical features of Lemierre's syndrome in which a definitive diagnosis was achieved using molecular methods. While routine investigations, including bacterial cultures, were unhelpful, two real-time PCR assays demonstrated Fusobacterium necrophorum-specific DNA in aspirates from brain and renal abscesses. This is the first report demonstrating that a laboratory diagnosis can be made using molecular methods in suspected cases of Lemierre's syndrome. Use of these methods can thus resolve diagnostic confusion, prevent unnecessary investigation, and direct specific antimicrobial treatment.
