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
Syphilis is a re-emerging sexually transmitted infection. According to the definition, latent syphilis is characterized by seroreactivity without clinical manifestations. Here, we reported an atypical case of syphilis in a patient with HIV naïve to the antiretroviral treatment characterized by mucocutaneous relapse that occurred in the late latent stage. The patient reported his last sexual intercourse about 18 months ago and had self-healing genital and palmoplantar lesions more than 1 year before the presentation. He denied any other types of sexual relationship. He presented with mucocutaneous scattered lesions on his face, neck, palms, soles, penis, and scrotum. He was compliant with arthralgias, myalgias, asthenia, new onset stypsis, and mild anorectal pain. Testing for Syphilis and HIV returned positive. Opportunistic infections were excluded, and antiretroviral therapy with a bictegravir-based regimen was started. Syphilis was treated successfully with three doses of 2.4 million units of benzathine penicillin.
