Lemierre Syndrome with Extensive Thrombosis: A Unique Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Case reports in otolaryngology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Lemierre syndrome (LS) is a rare complication of upper aerodigestive tract infections characterized by proximal and distal septic emboli, commonly including internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombosis. Diagnosis can be challenging, and treatment delays can result in increased patient morbidity and mortality. We present a rare case of LS with extensive thrombosis and multiple sites of distal infection and a narrative review of the literature. Conclusion: LS is a rare disease and may have an insidious course. Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment strategies, mainly broad-spectrum antibiotics, offer favorable outcomes in otherwise healthy individuals. The indications for anticoagulation therapy still remain controversial. Anticoagulants are usually administered to patients with extensive thrombosis. Surgical treatment includes abscess drainage, while IJV ligation and excision are reserved for nonresponders to medical treatment.
