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

Ocular syphilis is a significant manifestation of neurosyphilis that can occur at any stage of syphilis infection and may affect one or both eyes. The most common symptoms include reduced vision, pain, photophobia, and flashes of light. Uveitis and otic neuropathies are frequently observed ocular manifestations. If left untreated, ocular syphilis can result in permanent vision loss, highlighting the importance of thorough evaluation and timely treatment. We present the case of a 44-year-old woman, who exhibited symptoms including a maculopapular rash on the trunk and upper limbs, followed by cervical lymphadenopathy, tonsillitis, and decreased vision. Serological tests showed positivity for Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (1:32) and
