Article in Microbiology spectrum, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06152393 (Retro-prospective Multicentric Study Aiming to Evaluate the Benefit of Measuring an Intrathecal Synthesis Index of Specific Antitreponema IgG for Patients Suspected of Neurosyphilis), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers.

1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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.

Abstract

Neurosyphilis (NS) diagnosis is challenging because clinical signs are diverse and unspecific, and a sensitive and specific laboratory test is lacking. We tested the performance of an antibody index (AI) for intrathecal synthesis of specific anti-
