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
introductionRecent outbreaks of syphilis occurred predominantly in men who have sex with men (MSM). A significant proportion of syphilis cases occur in MSM who had more than one episode of syphilis. This group may play an important role in syphilis transmission.
aimTo identify factors associated with the risk of syphilis reinfection. MATERIAL AND
methodsForty-four MSM patients with the first episode of syphilis who were treated at the Department of Dermatology at the Jagiellonian University School of Medicine in Krakow, Poland were included in this study. After completing the treatment, the RPR testing was done every 3 months for 2 years in every patient. In the study period, we identified 12 (22%) cases of syphilis reinfection, eight of which were asymptomatic. Clinical, demographic and behavior data from patients with only one episode of syphilis were compared with those collected from repeaters.
resultsIndividuals with syphilis reinfection had concomitant HIV infection more frequently, reported a higher number of sexual partners and had sex in sex on premises venues more frequently (
conclusionsResults of our study highlight a strong need for frequent and repeated screening among MSM patients (especially those with concomitant HIV infection) with the first episode of syphilis and taking detailed patient's history regarding also demographic and behavior data. We should also improve prevention policies to reduce risk behaviors in this population.
