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
Neurosyphilis is recognized as a potential cause of hypertrophic pachymeningitis, but modern reports are few. A middle-aged man presented to hospital with a 1 month history of lower limb pain and weakness. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed pleocytosis with high protein levels and a positive venereal disease research laboratory result. Cervical spinal cord resonance imaging disclosed a dural contrast enhancement suggestive of pachymeningitis. Biopsy of the dura mater revealed a thick inflammatory process. Despite being treated accordingly, the patient rapidly deteriorated and died. The patient was diagnosed as having subacute hypertrophic cervical pachymeningitis which caused spinal cord compression. Serological evidence of neurosyphilis was present. Physicians should still be aware of this cause of hypertrophic pachymeningitis.
