Atypical Presentation of Gout: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis which is caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, that leads to severe pain, swelling, and stiffness. The condition typically affects the first metatarsophalangeal joint but it can impact other joints in the body. We present a case in which a 43-year-old male with a past medical history of obesity, hypertension, osteoarthritis, and gout presented with bilateral leg pain and the inability to walk for the last two years. Labs showed persistent leukocytosis, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), normal uric acid levels, with physical exam findings of bilateral tender nodular leg lesions. Chest X-ray, head CT without contrast, left hip X-ray and ultrasound of left lower extremity were performed which were all negative. Biopsy of the tender skin nodules confirmed the diagnosis of tophaceous gout. Acute and prophylactic treatment of tophaceous gout resulted in resolved inflammation and leukocytosis without any complications.
