Moving the Needle: Improving the Care of the Gout Patient.
Review in Rheumatology and therapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Gout is a the most common inflammatory arthritis in the United States. It is a significant cause of morbidity, disability, lost work days, and high healthcare utilization due to intermittent attacks, chronic inflammation, and joint damage. Despite our understanding of the prelude and pathophysiology of gout, hyperuricemia, it is still poorly misunderstood by patients and poorly managed by healthcare providers. Several parallel treatment paradigms have been developed by professional societies around the world based on the understanding of how hyperuricemia occurs, gout epidemiology, expert opinion, and clinical trials data in order to lower uric acid and eventually eliminate the patient's crystal burden. This review focuses on both the treatment of acute attacks, and more importantly, the long-term management of gout and the lowering of serum uric acid levels to a goal of < 6 mg/dl (0.360 mmol/l) or treating to target. Treating to a target serum uric acid goal is an opportunity to decrease morbidity and improve the quality of care of every gout patient.
