A rare case report: Pott's Puffy tumor and Lemierre's syndrome with intracranial complications in an adult male.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. 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
Pott Puffy Tumor (PPT) is extremely rare, yet potentially severe condition characterized by osteomyelitis of the frontal bone associated with one or multiple subperiosteal abscesses, primarily from nasosinusitis. It is characterized by localized frontal swelling accompanied by a subperiosteal abscess. Clinicians and radiologists do not widely recognize this complication of frontal sinusitis and, hence it is likely to be overlooked in clinical practice. We describe, through this article, a unique case of frontal osteomyelitis in an immunocompromised patient, complicated by a subperiosteal orbital abscess, subdural empyema, intracerebral abscesses, superior sagittal sinus thrombosis, and pulmonary septic emboli, which also resulted in septic pulmonary infarcts, aligning with Lemierre's syndrome. Treatment included a combination of antibiotics and surgery, with careful monitoring for orbital and intracranial complications.
