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

Background: Syphilis was brought under control with the advent of penicillin. However, in recent times, a rise in the incidence of syphilis has been reported by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Aim: To study the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients with syphilis attending sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinic at tertiary care center. Materials and Methods: Observational, cross-sectional analysis of sociodemographic, clinical, and investigational data of all syphilis patients visiting STI clinic from August 2019 to July 2021 was done and analyzed. Results: Out of 1330 STI patients that attended the clinic, 15.04% ( Conclusion: India is experiencing a new trend in the prevalence of syphilis, mainly due to the changes in risk behavior, misconceptions, and social stigma associated with STIs, improved laboratory diagnosis, and increased public awareness. Particularly secondary and latent stages have shown a rising trend over the past few years. Awareness about safe sexual practices and contraception is very important to control the current resurgence.
