Posterior uveitis of syphilitic etiology.
Article in Indian journal of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Uveitis in syphilis was reported often though it is not common. It can occur both in early and late syphilis. Syphilis transmission through anal contact and heterosexual contact is common. Transmission through oral sex in the absence of extragenital lesions is extremely rare. If not diagnosed earlier, uveitis can damage the vision permanently. The eyes will not see what the mind does not know. Hence, this case was reported to alert the young physicians to recognize this condition earlier. A high index of suspicion is essential to arrive at the diagnosis of this condition. Ocular syphilis and late syphilitic manifestations are quite rare nowadays. Once again, a resurge in syphilis cases was observed widely all over the globe and also in India. At this juncture, it will not be a surprise to have once again a rising incidence of cerebral venous system and central nervous system syphilis. Young physicians would not have a chance to come across a case of a case of ophthalmic syphilis. The report of such cases will alert them and make them suspect and diagnose cases of ocular syphilis earlier so that we can overcome the chances of preventable blindness with effective treatment.
