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

Secondary syphilis is a clinical mimic with considerable morphological variability. We describe a man in his early 50s with a generalised papulosquamous eruption, constitutional symptoms and generalised lymphadenopathy, notably without palmoplantar involvement. Syphilis serology was strongly reactive, and histopathology demonstrated a plasma cell-rich superficial and deep perivascular and peri-adnexal infiltrate. This case illustrates the importance of considering secondary syphilis in generalised papulosquamous eruptions despite the absence of classical palmoplantar lesions.
