Febuxostat Therapy for Patients with Gout and Stage 2-4 CKD: a Retrospective Study.
Article in Rheumatology and therapy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionThe aim of this study is to explore the efficacy and renal safety of febuxostat in gout and stage 2-4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) and factors that correlated with target serum urate (SU).
methodsA single-center retrospective study including male patients with gout and CKD was conducted. SU, the rate of SU < 360 µmol/L (RAT), and renal safety were analyzed in subjects who received febuxostat over 44 weeks. Factors that correlated with target SU were also explored.
resultsBetween January 2017 and March 2021, 102 patients (stage 2 CKD: n = 27; stage 3 CKD: n = 70; stage 4 CKD: n = 5) were enrolled. The SU level reduced significantly over 44 weeks (600.76 ± 95.42 versus 405.52 ± 111.93 µmol/L; P < 0.05), and RAT increased to 39.20%. The overall estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) level improved over 44 weeks (52.05 ± 11.68 versus 55.46 ± 14.49 mL/min/1.73 cm
conclusionsFebuxostat demonstrated efficacy and renal safety in patients with gout and CKD in clinical practice. Achieving the target SU could obviously improve renal function. Baseline SU level and body weight could affect the achievement of target SU.
