Thoracic gout tophus with abdominal wall protrusion: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
rationaleA patient presented the abdominal wall protrusion due to tophaceous gout of the spine. Similar cases were not reported in the literature. This study aimed to report a case of tophaceous gout of the spine with abdominal wall protrusion. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 38-year-old male patient had a 10-year history of gout and hyperuricemia. He complained of back pain and abdominal wall protrusion. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed with tophaceous gout of the spine with abdominal wall weakness caused by T11 nerve root compression.
interventionsA semi-lamina decompression was performed at T11-T12. The pathological examination of the specimen demonstrated tophaceous gout of the spine. OUTCOMES: After the surgery, the patient's back pain was completely relieved and the abdominal wall weakness significant improved. LESSONS: This case highlighted that axial gout could mimic thoracic disk herniation clinically. The abdominal wall weakness might also be due to single T11 nerve compression by the tophaceous gout of the spine. In patients with a history of gout, axial gout should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses.
