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
Purpose: Syphilis during pregnancy poses significant risks to maternal and neonatal health. Spousal testing is crucial for preventing congenital syphilis transmission. This study assessed spousal testing rates among syphilis-positive pregnant women to guide public health interventions. Methods: This multicenter effectiveness study was conducted in Southeast China, utilizing data from the Chinese HIV/AIDS, Syphilis, and Hepatitis B Prevention Information System between 2018 to 2024. Proportions were used to describe the sociodemographic characteristics of pregnant women with syphilis. Univariate and multivariate unconditional logistic regression models were used to analyze the factors associated with the testing status of spouses of pregnant women with syphilis. Results: A total of 4,875 spouses were tested for syphilis. Older gestational age at the first prenatal visit (aOR = 1.014, 95% CI: 1.007-1.022) and at delivery (aOR = 1.273, 95% CI: 1.011-1.602) were associated with lower rates of spousal testing. Spouses of women reported in 2022-2023 (aOR = 1.840, 95% CI: 1.465-2.311) had a higher likelihood of being untested. Unmarried status (aOR = 1.181, 95% CI: 1.022-1.364), junior high school education and below (aOR = 1.244, 95% CI: 1.121-1.381), no history of infection (aOR = 2.281, 95% CI: 2.073-2.510), and prenatal care in Grade II hospitals (aOR = 0.1.292, 95% CI: 1.140-1.464) were risk factors for spousal testing. Conclusion: From 2018 to 2024, the spousal testing rate was 60%, with a syphilis positivity rate of 14.7%. Data revealed multiple risk factors, such as a late first pregnancy test, advanced age, unmarried status, lower education level, no history of syphilis infection, and selection of prenatal care in Grade II hospitals as delivery facilities. Recommendations include establishing specialized clinics, post-test spousal counseling, and routine spousal testing.
