Bilateral Peritonsillar Abscesses Subsequent to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): 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
Superinfections with various bacteria exacerbate the symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Bilateral peritonsillar abscesses are rare and could be fatal, and their occurrence after COVID-19 has not been reported. A 20-year-old woman visited our hospital with a sore throat. The patient was diagnosed with COVID-19 infection, with no tonsillitis or peritonsillar abscess. Five days later, she returned to our department because of the deterioration of a sore throat. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral peritonsillar abscesses and admitted to the hospital for abscess drainage and antibiotics, which relieved her symptoms in seven days. Although a sore throat is a common symptom of COVID-19, clinicians should be aware of the possibility of other upper airway diseases, including bilateral peritonsillar abscess, during COVID-19 treatment.
