Multiple gouty tophi in the head and neck with normal serum uric acid: A case report and review of literatures.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundGouty tophus is rarely reported in the head and neck areas. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on multiple gouty tophi in the head and neck with normal serum uric acid (SUA) levels. CASE SUMMARY: We report a case of multiple gouty tophi in the nasal dorsal and auricle regions with normal SUA levels. The patient was admitted to the hospital with a chief complaint of recurrent nasal swelling and pain for 3 years, which was aggravated for 3 d. The patient's SUA level had been regularly reviewed in the outpatient department and had been successfully controlled for several years. Resection of the nasal masses was performed. Cartilage from the right ear cavity was used to repair the nasal defects. The pathological report confirmed a nasal gouty tophus. No recurrence or deformity was found after a 1 year follow-up.
conclusionNormal SUA cannot completely negate the diagnosis of gouty tophus, especially in some rare regions.
