A Rare Presentation of Lemierre's Syndrome Caused by an Atypical Occurrence of Eikenella corrodens.
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's syndrome is characterized by a septic inflammatory condition involving internal jugular veins and is frequently caused by an oropharyngeal infection. While it usually results in pulmonary embolization, this case demonstrates a rare but significant cerebral embolization. The case involves an 18-year-old woman who experienced left-sided neck swelling and difficulty swallowing five days after a tooth extraction, an uncommon trigger. Her symptoms progressed to a headache, localized seizures, and mental state changes. Upon hospital admission, she was febrile, had noticeable neck swelling, and a reduced Glasgow Coma Scale score. CT scans of her neck and her brain revealed an occurrence of septic emboli, indicating a septic thrombophlebitis that affected the internal jugular vein. As surgical intervention is rarely required in such cases, her treatment involved antibiotics and symptom management.
