Neurosyphilis Presenting With Subtle Clinical Features: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge.
Article in Case reports in neurological medicine, 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
We report the case of a 36-year-old male who presented with an acute onset of headache, vomiting, and feverish sensation with a history of prior unsafe sexual activity. VDRL and TPHA were reactive in both the blood and cerebrospinal fluid. A diagnosis of neurosyphilis was thus made, and we successfully treated the patient with ceftriaxone and doxycycline. With the increasing global trend of syphilis, the involvement of the central nervous system, neurosyphilis, is an increasing concern too. Due to the vague nonspecific symptoms and variable timing of presentation, it presents as a diagnostic challenge. We report this case to emphasize the need to explore the associated risk factors and consider neurosyphilis as a potential diagnosis because timely recognition and early treatment are essential to prevent irreversible neurological consequences.
