Current trends in donor testing to detect syphilis infection.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Potential organ and tissue donors are tested to detect infection with T. pallidum, the etiologic agent of syphilis. Important considerations for testing potential donors include available specimen type and volume, turnaround time, and ability to distinguish between past and current infection. Aspects of syphilis infection that inform organ and tissue donor assay selection and interpretation and the principles underlying available assays are described. Serologic assays for syphilis are the methods most commonly used in donor testing. The two categories of serologic assays, treponemal and nontreponemal, have advantages and limitations for testing potential donors. Knowledge of the common syphilis-testing algorithms used in clinical diagnostic testing is useful for assay selection in the organ and tissue donor setting.
