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 sexually transmitted infection characterized by multiple stages. Cardiovascular involvement is a manifestation of tertiary syphilis, occurring between 10 and 40 years after the primary infection. The authors present a case of atypical presentation of tertiary syphilis in a 49-year-old male patient who was admitted to the hospital with bilateral transient loss of vision. Contrast-enhanced CT imaging revealed thoracic aortitis with carotid occlusion, coronary artery stenosis, ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, and multiple intracardiac thrombi. A postmortem autopsy revealed positive laboratory results for syphilis, which was corroborated by medical autopsy findings of syphilitic aortitis.
