Syphilis and HIV: old and new foes aligned against us.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Syphilis and HIV infections frequently occur simultaneously because they affect the same risk groups. The declining incidence of syphilis during the 1990s reversed beginning in 2001, with most of the new cases occurring in men who have sex with men. This group is at highest risk of having or acquiring HIV infection. The clinical presentation of syphilis may be altered in persons with HIV infection and the response to therapy may be affected by immunosuppression. Syphilis may also subtly affect HIV infection, at least transiently. This article reviews the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment of syphilis in the setting of HIV infection.
