A Complex Case of Lemierre's Syndrome With Facial Vein Involvement.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 disease that generally occurs in young, healthy individuals, where an index of suspicion for something so serious is often low. There is no standardized definition of Lemierre's syndrome, which has led to a dilemma if Lemierre's can be diagnosed without internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombophlebitis. We highlight a complex case of Lemierre's syndrome that deviates from the classical presentation of the disease. A 31-year-old male presented to the hospital with "throat swelling" and difficulty swallowing. He was in severe sepsis with end-organ damage. The patient developed severe pneumonia with pleural/pericardial effusions and bilateral nodular necrosed lesions during hospitalization. A facial vein thrombus was diagnosed, but the absence of internal jugular vein involvement initially delayed Lemierre's diagnosis. However, blood culture speciation revealed
