A rare case of spontaneous carotid sheath abscess presenting as a painful neck mass.

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
Infections of the carotid arteries and sheath without any underlying etiology are extremely uncommon. In this article, we report the successful open repair of a right carotid sheath abscess in a 71-year-old woman with multiple comorbidities. The repair consisted of excision of the affected carotid segment and reconstruction by interposition of a reversed great saphenous vein graft. Postoperative Doppler ultrasound examination showed patent right carotid artery, and the patient demonstrated no recurrence postoperatively. This case suggests that, although rare, spontaneous carotid sheath remains a possible cause of neck mass, warranting high suspicion index for optimal treatment in a timely manner to avoid further complications.
