Secondary Syphilis With Isolated Ocular Syphilis and Superimposed Corneal Abrasion: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Ocular syphilis is a rare and easily preventable disease that can progress quickly to permanent blindness. Symptoms can mimic other ocular pathologies and further delay diagnosis. The incidence of syphilis continues to rise each year and represents significant morbidity in high-risk communities. In this case, the patient presented with unilateral blindness, uveitis, and a maculopapular rash on the lower extremities. Initially, she was found to have a corneal abrasion, leading to a missed diagnosis of ocular syphilis and delayed treatment. This case brings awareness to ocular syphilis as a key diagnosis to consider in a patient with unilateral ocular pathology that is refractory to treatment. Quick diagnosis is essential to prevent progression to permanent blindness.
