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 common infection that has variable presentations. We report a rare case of a 64-year-old male with 3 weeks of abdominal pain, back pain, and neurologic deficits including memory impairment who was found to have neurosyphilis causing a cholestatic liver injury. Workup included a positive rapid plasma reagin (RPR) and enzyme immunoassay (EIA), a positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL), and a liver biopsy, which was compatible with a diagnosis of syphilitic hepatitis. Completion of a 14-day course of penicillin and 1 month of physical therapy resulted in near full-functional and biochemical recovery.
