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 is a re-emerging global public health concern; recently, its incidence has significantly increased in all demographic groups. However, acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis (ASPPC) and syphilitic optic neuropathy in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infection are extremely uncommon. ASPPC is a rare ocular infectious condition caused by syphilis that results in potential blindness. Considering that ocular syphilis may present as an initial manifestation, screening for sexually transmitted diseases is warranted. Here, this article presents a successful treatment protocol that resulted in the complete resolution of a case of ASPPC and syphilitic optic neuropathy with HIV co-infection.
