High prevalence of syphilis in Australia: test, treat and trace.
Review in Australian prescriber, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 has re-emerged as a significant public health issue in Australia, with rapidly rising case numbers of infectious syphilis and a resurgence of congenital syphilis. Syphilis may be asymptomatic or present with various clinical manifestations in anogenital, oral or other parts of the body. Untreated syphilis can lead to serious health complications and clinical vigilance is paramount for early diagnosis and treatment. Syphilis testing is recommended as part of sexual health check-ups and antenatal screening, and for people at increased risk of syphilis or from high-prevalence groups. As the incidence of syphilis is increasing in the general population, clinicians should maintain a low threshold for testing. Parenteral penicillin is the recommended treatment for all stages of syphilis. Syphilis is a notifiable condition and is reported by testing laboratories to local public health units. Contact tracing and treatment are essential to prevent re-infection and further transmission.
