Classical syphilitic lesions from the museum.
Article in Forensic science, medicine, and pathology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 an increasingly diagnosed venereal disease which has four distinctive stages that may last over decades if appropriate treatment is not given. Review of the files of the Pathology Museum in the Faculty of Medicine at The University of Adelaide revealed three cases with classical cardiovascular and neurological findings. Case 1: An 80-year-old man with a large syphilitic aneurysm of the ascending aorta with a smaller aneurysm of the proximal descending aorta. Case 2: A 56-year-old man with chronic syphilitic meningoencephalitis with cerebral atrophy. Case 3: A 77-year-old man with tabes dorsalis. Given the increase in cases coming to medical attention in recent years due to high-risk sexual activity, migration, travel and reduced access to medical treatment, an awareness of the classical features of syphilis is appropriate as some cases will undoubtedly require medicolegal evaluation.
