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

Chronic tophaceous gout is a common disease but rarely found in the head and neck region. Here we report a case of a middle aged male who presented with a mass over the right side of the nasal bridge. CT of the paranasal sinuses revealed a tophi lesion in the right nasal bridge with erosion of the underlying nasal bone. The mass was excised and histologically confirmed to be a gouty tophus. This case report illustrates how a common disease presented in an uncommon location could pose a diagnostic challenge.
