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 caused by treponema pallidum. If untreated, or inadequately treated, during pregnancy, it can result in congenital syphilis (CS), which is classified as early and late. Early CS displays before 2 years of age. We herein describe 2 cases of early CS, whose clinical onset included liver failure, edema, organomegaly, and respiratory distress. We focus on liver, intestinal, and brain ultrasound (US) and other peculiar radiological findings. To date, there are no scientific data on intestinal and brain US findings in patients with early CS whereas data on abdominal US are scarce. Increasing knowledge about US findings in early CS could be useful to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to these patients.
