Jugular Vein Thrombosis and Anticoagulation Therapy in Lemierre's Syndrome
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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
backgroundLemierre's syndrome is typically caused by
methodsPatients with invasive infection with
resultsFifty-one of 82 (62%) radiologically investigated patients with Lemierre's syndrome had jugular vein thrombosis. Patients with jugular vein thrombosis had lower platelet levels (median, 76 vs 112 ×10
conclusionsPatients with Lemierre's syndrome with jugular vein thrombosis were more severely affected, yet had similar prognosis. Most patients with jugular vein thrombosis recovered well without therapeutic anticoagulation therapy, though adverse events were similarly rare in anticoagulated patients. The observational design and rarity of study outcomes require cautious interpretation.
