Secondary syphilis mimicking erythema multiforme.
Article in Indian journal of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS. 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
Syphilis, often referred to as "the great imitator," frequently leads to misdiagnosis due to its diverse clinical manifestations. It typically presents with macular, maculopapular, or papular lesions, and can, although rarely, cause erythema multiforme (EM)-like lesions. We report a case of secondary syphilis in a patient living with HIV/AIDS, presenting with EM-like lesions, showing numerous plasma cells on histopathological examination. Dermoscopy of these lesions revealed a diffuse red background with central purpuric areas and dotted vessels at the periphery. These lesions resolved with treatment for secondary syphilis. This case is notable due to the rarity of EM-like lesions in secondary syphilis, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.
