Lemierre Syndrome After Influenza A Virus Infection.
Article in Cureus, 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
Lemierre syndrome is a rare condition characterized by septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein with metastatic septic emboli, most commonly affecting the lungs. We report a case of Lemierre syndrome temporally associated with influenza A infection in a previously healthy 21-year-old male. The patient initially presented to the emergency department with severe headache and tested positive for influenza A. Over the following seven days, his symptoms progressed to neck pain with decreased range of motion, hemoptysis, cough, and persistent myalgias. Despite four additional emergency department visits, his evolving neck symptoms were attributed to influenza-related myalgias and cervical strain. On the day of admission, examination demonstrated neck swelling, tenderness, restricted jaw opening, and pink foamy sputum. Laboratory studies were significant for severe thrombocytopenia, lactic acidosis, and sepsis. Imaging revealed right mastoid effusion, paranasal sinusitis, multifocal pneumonia, and a near-occlusive thrombus of the right internal jugular vein. Blood cultures grew beta-hemolytic group C
