Lemierre's syndrome: A persistent unusual neck pain and swelling.
Article in Malaysian family physician : the official journal of the Academy of Family Physicians of Malaysia, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Lemierre's syndrome is a systemic complication commonly caused by oropharyngeal infection by Fusobacterium species, which manifests itself as an internal jugular vein thrombosis formation. It is a rare occurrence nowadays with the availability of broad spectrum antibiotics for treatment. Most cases in the literature presented with a life-threatening condition. We are reporting a case of Lemierre's syndrome that presented with persistent neck pain and swelling, initially diagnosed as cervical lymphadenitis.
