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

Ulcers resulting from tophaceous gout are uncommon and very difficult to heal. Here we report a case with chronic refractory tophaceous gout, not responding to conventional treatment modality for several months in a 39-year-old man with a 12-year history of gout with recurrent acute arthritis attacks. Two times after treatment with autologous platelet-rich gel (APG), the ulcer healed finally for 2 months. This is the first study to confirm that APG can improve tophus ulcer healing. Based on conventional medical therapy and standard debridement, APG might be a novel and effective method to stimulate tophus ulcer healing.
