Association of Pulmonary Septic Embolism and Pulmonary Arterial Thromboembolism in Lemierre Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review.

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 (LS) is a rapidly progressing disease characterised by a recent oropharyngeal infection, complicated by septic emboli and thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein (IJV). We describe a case of a 65-year-old woman who presented to the emergency room with a 14-day history of progressive occipital headache, fever and odynophagia. Radiological investigations showed bilateral IJV thrombophlebitis, multiple cavitated pulmonary nodules suggestive of septic emboli and a subsegmental pulmonary arterial thromboembolism. A diagnosis of LS was made. The patient received antibiotic treatment with intravenous ceftriaxone and clindamycin for 2 weeks, followed by 4 weeks of oral clindamycin at home and anticoagulation with enoxaparin followed by warfarin. One-month follow-up imaging revealed complete resolution of IJV thrombosis and pulmonary findings. This case displayed the rarely reported association of pulmonary arterial thromboembolism and pulmonary septic emboli.
