Early recognition and management of Lemierre's syndrome with extensive central venous thrombosis: a case from the emergency department.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2026. 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
introductionLemierre’s syndrome is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. It typically develops as a complication of oropharyngeal infections, leading to bacteremia, septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein (IJV), and metastatic septic emboli. According to the literature, Lemierre’s syndrome predominantly affects previously healthy young adults, with a mean age at presentation of around 20 years, although it has also been reported in school-aged children. Diagnosis is frequently delayed or missed, as the initial manifestations—such as sore throat or neck pain—closely resemble benign viral infections. Emergency physicians therefore play a critical role in recognizing early warning signs and initiating prompt, lifesaving management. This report describes an atypical presentation of Lemierre’s syndrome in a middle-aged (43-year-old) woman who exhibited minimal systemic toxicity despite extensive central venous involvement.
