1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 and HIV are sexually transmitted disease (STDs) that interact synergistically. However, data on HIV-syphilis co-infection in Romania remain limited. We conducted a retrospective cohort study at a single Romanian HIV/AIDS Day Clinic, including 439 adult people living with HIV (PLWH) monitored between 2020 and 2025. Demographic, epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory data were collected, including HIV staging and syphilis history. Syphilis co-infection was identified in 81 patients (18.5%), and 61.5% met criteria for AIDS. Viral suppression was achieved in 82.2%, and 78.4% achieved CD4 counts >350 cells/mm
