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

The beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic was marked by a sharp decline in syphilis infections in many countries worldwide, including Greece. However, a resurgence of positive cases started to appear in the second half of 2020. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of the pandemic on the incidence of new syphilis infections and reinfections and analyze the sociodemographic characteristics associated with recurrent episodes. We analyzed medical records from a 14-month period after the beginning of the pandemic and compared them with the respective period before the start of the pandemic. Our participants consisted mainly of men, with a median age of 43 years, homosexual orientation, and higher education. During COVID-19, more HIV patients presented for syphilis testing (38.0% vs. 34.6%,
