Syphilitic Hepatitis: A Rare Cause of Acute Liver Injury.
Article in Cureus, 2021. 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
Syphilitic hepatitis represents a rare manifestation of treponemal infection. Diagnosis is achieved with the presence of characteristic syphilitic signs and symptoms along with positive serological markers, characteristic elevated liver enzymes, and no other alternative cause of hepatobiliary insult. Here we detail a case of a patient presenting with recently diagnosed secondary syphilis causing abnormal liver enzymes. With the increasing incidence of venereal diseases in the United States, this case highlights the importance of identifying syphilis as a differential diagnosis for acute liver injury.
