Lemierre's syndrome: A re-emerging infection.
Article in IDCases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 (LS) or suppurative thrombophlebitis of the jugular vein most often arises as a complication of head and neck infections. LS was more common before the antimicrobial era but the incidence decreased during the 1960s with increased use of penicillin for bacterial throat infections. However, the incidence is now increasing. Though the protean manifestations make recognition difficult, a recent history of sore throat and septic emboli in the lungs should prompt consideration of LS.
