Meningovascular Neurosyphilis Presenting as Multifocal Stroke: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Neurosyphilis (NS) remains a diagnostic challenge due to its diverse clinical manifestations and its ability to mimic other neurological disorders. Despite the global decline in syphilis incidence during the antibiotic era, a recent resurgence has led to an increase in atypical and meningovascular presentations. Early diagnosis is critical, as timely treatment can prevent irreversible neurological damage. We report the case of a 38-year-old immunocompetent male who presented with acute vertigo, unsteady gait, and subsequent confusion. Initial imaging and laboratory investigations were unremarkable; however, MRI revealed multifocal ischemic lesions. Serological testing demonstrated high-titer
