Lemierre's Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 21-year-old woman presented with a sore throat and systemic symptoms, including fever, diarrhea, and chest pain, progressing to sepsis. Imaging revealed a pharyngeal abscess, thrombophlebitis of the left internal jugular vein, and septic emboli. Blood cultures confirmed Fusobacterium necrophorum, and the patient was diagnosed with Lemierre's syndrome. Empirical antibiotics were adjusted to ampicillin-sulbactam based on culture results, leading to a full recovery after a month-long treatment course. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of Lemierre's syndrome, its severe complications, and the importance of early recognition and targeted antibiotic therapy. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of Lemierre's syndrome are essential to prevent life-threatening complications, underscoring the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion in patients presenting with systemic symptoms following pharyngitis.
