Neurosyphilis.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis, invades the central nervous system early in the course of disease but causes persistent infection in only a subset of infected persons. Individuals with persistent infection or asymptomatic meningitis are at risk for developing symptomatic neurosyphilis if they are not treated with a drug regimen that achieves sufficient drug levels in cerebrospinal fluid to kill the organism. In this article, recent studies that address the risk, diagnosis, and management of neurosyphilis are discussed within the context of a brief review. Particular attention is given to current controversies. In the developed world, these issues are particularly relevant to persons who are infected with HIV.
