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

objectiveThis study is aimed at investigating the diagnostic value of synovial fluid cell counts in gout patients.

methodsA total of 185 gout, 64 rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 26 axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), and 24 osteoarthritis (OA) patients were included in the study. According to serum uric acid (sUA) levels on attack, gout patients were divided into normal sUA gout patients and high sUA gout patients. The laboratory data were recorded. ROC curves were generated to evaluate the diagnostic value of the variables for gout patients and normal sUA gout patients compared with RA, axSpA, and OA patients.

resultsThe synovial fluid white blood cell (WBC), peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC), monocyte, polymorphonuclear (PMN), and neutrophil counts in gout patients were higher than those in OA patients (

conclusionsThe synovial fluid cell counts of gout patients were different from those of RA, axSpA, and OA patients. Synovial fluid lymphocytes had a higher diagnostic value for gout.
