Trends in Syphilis Partner Services Outcomes Among Women in 8 US Jurisdictions, 2015-2022.

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
backgroundHealth departments prioritize reproductive-aged women for syphilis partner services (PS) to prevent congenital syphilis (CS). We assessed trends in PS effectiveness among women.
methodsWe classified reported syphilis cases (all stages) between 2015 and 2022 from 8 US jurisdictions as nonpregnant women (NPW) older than 45 years ("non-reproductive-aged NPW," a group sometimes not assigned for PS), NPW aged between 15 and 45 years ("reproductive-aged NPW"), pregnant women without a CS outcome ("pregnant no CS"), and pregnant women with a CS outcome ("pregnant and CS"). We compared trends in the yearly proportion within each group who reported partners and whose partners were treated (preventatively or if infected, before or due to PS).
resultsDuring 2015-2022, annual counts of syphilis increased (non-reproductive-aged NPW, +151.5%; reproductive-aged NPW, +208.0%; pregnant no CS, +160.4%; pregnant and CS, +559.3%). Overall, 88% of women were assigned for PS, >90% of assigned cases were interviewed, and >94% of interviewed cases were treated. Across groups, the proportion interviewed naming ≥1 locatable partner was higher in 2015 compared with 2022 (non-reproductive-aged NPW, 53.3%-36.3%; reproductive-aged NPW, 68.6%-42.8%; pregnant no CS, 80.8%-65.0%; pregnant and CS, 73.6%-47.0%), and the proportion with ≥1 partner treated was higher (non-reproductive-aged NPW, 31.3%-21.7%; reproductive-aged NPW, 43.7%-24.9%; pregnant no CS, 53.0%-38.0%; pregnant and CS, 41.5%-23.4%).
conclusionsAs syphilis increased, health departments reached most women with syphilis and assured treatment. A decreasing proportion of women reported locatable partners. Integration of PS with other strategies is needed to prevent reinfection and syphilis transmission in women.
