Article in World journal of nephrology, 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
backgroundLemierre's syndrome is a disease that causes anaerobic sepsis, internal jugular vein thrombosis, and septic embolism in the lungs and other organs after acute oropharyngeal infection. It was named after André-Alfred Lemierre in 1936. CASE SUMMARY: Here, we have reported a case of Lemierre's syndrome in a 56-year-old female patient who presented with a sore throat. The patient had septic shock, had not voided, and had severe hyperglycemia at the time of her visit. Imaging tests revealed bilateral pneumonia, pleural effusion, pulmonary embolism, and renal vein thrombosis. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit and placed on mechanical ventilation due to acute respiratory distress syndrome. Continuous renal replacement therapy was administered to treat renal failure with anuria.
conclusionLemierre's syndrome is associated with a high mortality rate. Therefore, clinicians should be familiar with the signs and symptoms of this disease as well as the preemptive examinations, procedures, and treatments.
