Not All Pulmonary Densifications Are COVID-19: A Case Report About Lemierre's Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2021. 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 is a rare and a life-threatening disease characterized by anaerobic bacteraemia associated with thrombosis of the internal jugular vein. Odynophagia, otalgia, odontalgia, dyspnoea, cough and fever are the most frequent manifestations. We describe a case of a 37-year-old woman who was admitted to the emergency room due to fever, odynophagia, dyspnoea, myalgia, and pleuritic chest pain. She had hypoxaemia and increased systemic inflammatory markers. The chest CT showed parenchymal densification compatible with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection, although all three polymerase chain reaction testing were negative. The neck CT showed occlusion of the left cervical internal jugular vein. She was treated with antibiotics and was discharged. With the reported clinical case the authors intend to clarify the importance of differential diagnosis and the diagnosis of other infectious respiratory conditions at the time of a global pandemic.
