The relationships of renal function markers with disease activities and neurosyphilis in HIV-negative patients with syphilis.

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
objectivesTo investigate the associations between renal function markers and disease activities and neurosyphilis in patients with syphilis.
methodsA total of 390 HIV-negative syphilis patients were included in the study. Serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (CR), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were used as markers of renal function. Binary logistic regression models and restricted cubic splines were performed to investigate the associations of renal function markers with neurosyphilis.
resultsBUN and CR were positively correlated with serum TRUST titer and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein, whereas eGFR was inversely correlated with serum TRUST titer, CSF-protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Renal function markers were associated with neurosyphilis, and the adjusted odds ratios (95% CIs) for the highest versus lowest tertiles of BUN and CR were 1.81 (1.04-3.13) and 2.27 (1.22-4.22). Multivariable-adjusted restricted cubic spline analyses suggested there were dose-response relationships of BUN and CR with neurosyphilis (P for linearity < 0.05). Furthermore, the addition of BUN or CR to the conventional model improved risk reclassification of neurosyphilis.
conclusionsRenal function markers were associated with disease activity of syphilis and the likelihood of neurosyphilis in HIV-negative patients with syphilis. These findings highlight the critical role of renal function monitoring in syphilis management.
