Lemierre Syndrome: A Rare Complication of Infectious Mononucleosis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 syndrome is a rare condition that arises from septic thrombophlebitis most commonly in the internal jugular vein. Common precipitating factors include recent oropharyngeal, tonsillar, or dental infection or chronic bacteremia. While modern antibiotic usage has decreased mortality rates, challenges persist in accurately diagnosing the condition at the time of patient presentation due to a lack of awareness of this rare disorder. Here, we present the case of a previously healthy 20-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis approximately two weeks before her hospital admission. She presented with a five-day history of shortness of breath and cough. Diagnostic workup/evaluation revealed pneumonia with bilateral pleural effusions as well as the need for intravenous antibiotics and oxygen via nasal cannula, prompting her admission to the hospital. During her hospitalization, blood cultures showed growth in two out of four test tubes with
