[Increase in syphilis and STD coinfections in HIV-infected individuals in Dresden].
Article in Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete, 2005. 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
backgroundIn the past few years, increased diagnoses of syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases (STD) have been reported in the cities of the United States and Europe, including Germany. The majority of cases identified were men who have sex with men (MSM). PATIENTS AND
methodsA retrospective chart review of 144 HIV-infected patients from Dresden enrolled between 2000 and October 2003 was analyzed for the prevalence of syphilis and other STDs and compared with previous data of 104 patients collected between 1993 and 1999.
resultsThe seroprevalence of syphilis increased from 13.5% to 17.5%, mainly due to a marked increase of active early syphilis from 0% to 7% of patients, all of whom were MSM. 63% of the patients had clinical or serological signs of other STDs.
conclusionThese data confirm previous reports on the increase of syphilis among MSM. The frequent occurrence of other STDs in HIV-infected patients outlines the need for special STD screening offers and adequate counseling.
