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

Gout is an inflammatory joint disease caused by monosodium urate (MSU) crystals; however, the mechanism underlying MSU-induced inflammation is unclear. Previous research has suggested that inflammation or cancer can drive the expansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). In this study, the role of MDSCs in MSU-induced gout inflammation was evaluated. A total of 28 patients with gout, and 20 healthy controls were recruited for the study. MDSCs, and their functions, were analyzed by flow cytometry and a T cell co-culture assay, respectively. We observed a higher frequency of PMN-MDSCs, and a stronger immunosuppressive function, in patients with gout compared to the controls. Moreover, circulating PMN-MDSCs were positively correlated with pathological indicators, including uric acid and C-reactive protein levels. We also demonstrated that MSU can induce significant PMN-MDSC expansion, using
