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

aimThis research aims to evaluate the predictive performance of a published allopurinol dosing tool.

methodsAllopurinol dose predictions were compared to the actual dose required to achieve serum urate (SU) <0.36 mmol l

resultsAllopurinol doses were overpredicted by the dosing tool; however, this was minimal in patients without diuretic therapy (MPE 63 mg day

conclusionsThe dosing tool produced acceptable maintenance dose predictions for patients not taking diuretics. Inclusion of ABCG2 genotype and a revised adjustment for diuretics would further improve the performance of the dosing tool.
