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.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Syphilis is a highly infectious sexually transmitted infection (STI) with a multitude of presentations. The disease is known as "the great imitator" as it often presents as other chronic dermatoses, leading to a difficult and delayed diagnosis. Here, we describe the case of a 17-year-old Vietnamese male from Dong Nai Province who was initially diagnosed with psoriasis. However, upon further investigation, he was found to have concurrent secondary syphilis and psoriasis complicated by an undiagnosed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection which presented clinically as generalized erythema multiforme (EM). The patient demonstrated significant improvement after being treated for syphilis and psoriasis, and he was subsequently referred to an infectious disease specialist for treatment of the underlying HIV infection.
