Moyamoya Disease with Syphilis: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of clinical practice and research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Moyamoya disease is an uncommon cerebrovascular disorder. There is speculation that syphilis may induce Moyamoya disease; however, literature on this association is sparse. Case Report: We describe the case of a 43-year-old female with syphilis who experienced three ischemic strokes. Angiography revealed a "puff of smoke" pattern, diagnostic of Moyamoya. The patient underwent antiplatelet therapy following antibiotic treatment for syphilis. Despite conservative management, there was no clinical improvement. Consequently, the patient was referred for neurosurgical intervention and underwent burr hole surgery to treat Moyamoya disease. Conclusion: There are no definitive conclusions regarding whether the patient's primary complaints stem from syphilis or Moyamoya disease. To our knowledge, this case represents the second instance where Moyamoya disease and syphilis have been reported concurrently. This case suggests that syphilis should be considered as a potential factor in patients presenting with Moyamoya disease.
