Blurry Diagnosis of Ocular Syphilis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The incidence of syphilis is on the rise worldwide which may be due to increased diagnosis. Given the wide variety of presenting symptoms, syphilis can pose many diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties for doctors. In turn, these difficulties frequently lead to a noticeable delay in patient care. Here we present a case of ocular syphilis in a homosexual male patient presenting with uveitis with no prior symptoms except for an itchy rash in the pelvic area. The patient was treated with IV penicillin after which full vision was restored. By presenting this case, we hope to stress the importance of adding syphilis in the differential diagnosis of men who have sex with men (MSM) who present with otherwise unexplained rash and/or uveitis.
