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

backgroundGouty tophi are a chronic granulomatous caused by a deposition of monosodium urate crystal deposition in the body. Once broken, it may easily induce severe infection. Sepsis complicated with secondary hemophagocytic syndrome induced by gouty tophi rupture is extremely rare in the clinical setting, and no such serious complications have been reported in literature. CASE SUMMARY: This is a 52-year-old Chinese male patient with a 20-year history of gouty arthritis. At admission, the gout stone in the patient's right ankle was broken and it secreted a white mucoid substance. During the course of treatment, the patient suffered from systemic inflammatory response syndrome multiple times. His condition gradually deteriorated, further complicated by hemophagocytic syndrome. After thorough removal of gout lesions and active anti-infection treatment and control of blood uric acid level, combined with multidisciplinary cooperation, the patient was finally cured.

conclusionSepsis complicated with secondary hemophagocytic syndrome induced by gouty tophi rupture is extremely rare in the clinical setting. Timely and accurate diagnosis is very important to save patients' lives.
