Tophaceous gout in the sternoclavicular joint.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Gouty arthritis commonly occurs in peripheral synovial joints and involvement in the thoracic cage is extremely rare. We report a case of a 52-year-old presenting with a painful bony mass in her sternal notch. Imaging demonstrated a lobulated calcified and necrotic lesion causing mass effect on adjacent structures. Excision biopsy confirmed a benign cystic lesion with amorphous material containing needle-shaped refractile crystals suggestive of uric acid. Tophaceous gout was diagnosed. Presence of a periarticular mass with characteristics of gout should warrant investigation with biopsy and imaging. This can prevent misdiagnosis of malignancy and avoid unnecessary surgery in asymptomatic lesions.
