Culture-Negative Lemierre's Syndrome: A Case Report of Septic Thrombophlebitis With Multi-organ Involvement.

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 a rare and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein, typically following an oropharyngeal infection. We report a case of a young, previously healthy patient who presented with sepsis and multi-organ involvement, later diagnosed with right internal jugular vein thrombosis. Despite negative blood cultures, clinical features supported a diagnosis of Lemierre's syndrome. The patient was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics and anticoagulation, later complicated by hemoptysis requiring adjustment of therapy. This case brings attention to the diagnostic challenges in culture-negative Lemierre's syndrome and underscores the importance of early recognition, imaging, and individualized management, particularly in the absence of standardized guidelines for antibiotic and anticoagulant duration.
