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 has historically been called "The Great Mimicker" because of its various stages and clinical signs. It typically occurs in one of three stages: primary, secondary, or tertiary. Primary syphilis often shows painless genital ulcers (syphilitic chancre), which can be hard to detect in women or men who have sex with men (MSM). Oral presentation of syphilis is extremely rare and can be a diagnostic challenge. Here, we present a rare case of primary oral syphilis in a healthy young MSM presenting with painless tongue ulcers for 7 days, 6 weeks after an oral sexual encounter. His rapid plasma reagin (RPR) titer was 1:16, and his
