Abdominal Variant of Lemierre's Syndrome in a Patient with Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.
Article in Medeniyet medical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 an illness characterized by internal jugular vein thrombophlebitis related to infectious agents, primarily Fusobacterium necrophorum. These bacteria, residing in both the oropharynx and the gastrointestinal tract, may lead to pylephlebitis, a serious condition that could result in the development of hepatic abscesses. This manifestation of the disease is regarded as the abdominal variant of Lemierre's syndrome. Patients with gastrointestinal malignancies, especially those who undergo surgeries, are susceptible to the abdominal variant of Lemierre's syndrome. Timely diagnosis is required to avoid the life-threatening complications of the abdominal variant of Lemierre's syndrome. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) might be very useful in differentiating this disease from liver metastasis in patients with malignancies. Radiologists and clinicians need to be aware of this challenging condition to prevent misdiagnosis, since prompt treatment is often lifesaving.
