Recent developments in advanced imaging in gout.
Review in Therapeutic advances in musculoskeletal disease, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The plain radiographic features of gout are well known; however, the sensitivity of plain radiographs alone for the detection of signs of gout is poor in acute disease. Radiographic abnormalities do not manifest until late in the disease process, after significant joint and soft tissue damage has already occurred. The advent of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has enabled the non-invasive diagnosis and quantification of gout by accurately confirming the presence and extent of urate crystals in joints and soft tissues, without the need for painful and often unreliable soft tissue biopsy or joint aspiration. Specific ultrasound findings have been identified and may also be used to aid diagnosis. Both ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used for the measurement of disease extent, monitoring of disease activity or treatment response, although MRI findings are nonspecific. In this article we summarize the imaging findings and diagnostic utility of plain radiographs, ultrasound, DECT, MRI and nuclear medicine studies in the assessment as well as the implications and utility these tools have for measuring disease burden and therapeutic response.
