Psoriasiform syphilis: A challenge.
Article in Dermatology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 one of the greatest masqueraders in dermatology, like mycosis fungoides or sarcoidosis. In fact, secondary syphilis can simulate different dermatological conditions, not only clinically but also histopathologically. A 34-year-old Brazilian man from Manaus (Amazonas) attended our Department complaining for 2 weeks of asthenia, weight loss and multiple asymptomatic disseminated erythematous papules and scaly plaques with well-defined borders and a tendency to confluence were observed on the trunk, neck and extremities, clinically similar to psoriasis guttata. The skin biopsy and laboratory tests disclosed secondary syphilis and the patient was treated with intramuscular benzathine penicillin with prednisolone, with a complete resolution. Psoriasiform syphilis, which imitates psoriasis, was well known by old dermatologists and was called
