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

Congenital syphilis is becoming increasingly common in the United States. Early identification and treatment are critical in preventing long-term sequelae, such as musculoskeletal deformity, and neurologic deficits. At our North American institution, two recent cases of congenital syphilis were identified primarily by their musculoskeletal manifestations. We describe these two cases and discuss the diagnostic challenges that they presented. In the setting of a rapid increase in the number of cases of congenital syphilis, this diagnosis is one of critical importance for orthopaedic surgeons to be familiar with. Identification can be difficult without high clinical suspicion, so increasing awareness is critical to ensuring timely diagnosis and treatment.
