Syphilis: presentations in general medicine.
Article in Clinical medicine (London, England), 2016. 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 is caused by the spirochete bacteriumTreponema pallidumand can be transmitted both sexually and from mother to child.T pallidumcan infect any organ and produces a clinical disease with a relapsing and remitting course. It is not hard to see, therefore, why it is often described as the great mimic. In this review, we provide an update of modern syphilis epidemiology, clinical presentations, and testing and treatment strategies.
