1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 syndrome is characterized by septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein, classically caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum. It is typically seen after an episode of pharyngitis where the palatine tonsils or peritonsillar mucosa is affected. It is thought to spread locally into the pharyngeal space toward the internal jugular vein. CASE REPORT: A 42-year-old male with progressively worsening, atraumatic right-sided neck pain was discovered to have methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia, septic thrombophlebitis of the right dural venous sinuses, skull base osteomyelitis, and otomastoiditis.

conclusionWhile septic thrombophlebitis of the dural venous sinuses and internal jugular vein is typically caused by F necrophorum and usually comes from local pharyngeal spread, community-acquired MRSA is an emerging cause of this pathology.
