Lemierre's syndrome: A rare cause of septic emboli in a young adult.

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 deadly disease that is often over-looked due to its rarity. In this report, a 21-year-old Caucasian woman, with no past medical history, presented to a walk-in in clinic and twice to an emergency department between January 30th, 2020 and February 5th, 2020 for progression of fevers, sore throat, neck, and pleuritic chest pain. The patient was sent home her first 2 visits with an incorrect diagnosis. Despite having a presentation consistent with Lemierre's syndrome, on her third visit, she underwent an extensive work-up investigating other etiologies prior to receiving a correct diagnosis and adequate treatment. This case demonstrates how a thorough history and physical exam can aid Radiologists in expediting the diagnostic process for a potentially fatal disease. Although rare, a history of pharyngitis and neck pain in a septic patient should help Radiologists to exclude more common etiologies which, through their investigations, prolong life-saving treatment.
