Neurosyphilis Update: Atypical is the New Typical.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Syphilis has reemerged as an important cause of neurological disease, affecting any part of the neuraxis at any stage of infection. What was once a dwindling diagnosis is now redoubling, particularly in the HIV-positive and in men who have sex with men populations. In the era of antibiotics and HIV coinfection, neurosyphilis presentations are protean, making diagnosis notoriously challenging. Advanced disease may be irreversible, and so early detection and treatment are ideal. Herein, we review recent advances in understanding neurosyphilis.
