Syphilis is a Rare Cause of Erythema Nodosum: A Case Report.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Erythema nodosum (EN) is a dermatological manifestation, the common etiologies of which are already widely described. Here, we report the case of a patient who presented an EN, where the etiology was found to be a rare diagnosis: syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection with various clinical presentations. A 42-year-old female patient without any medical condition presented with a clinical picture associating a maculopapular rash at first, and later on a well-defined hypodermic lesion, clinically suggestive of an EN, on the right forearm. The etiologic workup ruled out sarcoidosis, which was the first suspected diagnosis. Positive VDRL-TPHA and recovery within 15 days after benzathine benzylpenicillin administration allowed the diagnosis of syphilis to be made on the EN. EN is a rare manifestation of syphilis that should be kept in mind in these times of strong recrudescence of the disease among men who have sex with men in mainland France but also among heterosexuals in Reunion Island.
