Odds of Achieving Target Serum Uric Acid Levels Among Gout Patients: The Role of Rurality in Outcomes and Treatment Adherence.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveThe goal of this paper was to analyze patient outcomes related to gout treatment including, serum uric acid (sUA) measures and treatment adherence across patients in metropolitan, micropolitan or rural counties.
methodsWe conducted a drug-disease cohort study among patients with gout initiating urate lowering therapy. The proportion of patients with sUA < 6 mg/dL at 1 year of follow-up is compared over the cohort groups using a chi-square test and adjusted logistic regression. Adherence to urate lowering therapy was calculated using the proportion of days covered (PDC). A
resultsA total of 9922 patients were included in the study. Most patients were in a metropolitan (77.4%) area, followed by micropolitan (11.8%) and finally, (10.8%) in a rural area. We found no statistically significant difference among the proportion of patients achieving target sUA of <6 mg/dL, 37.17% among metropolitan patients, 38.9% among micropolitan patients, and 37.7% for those in a rural area,
conclusionsUrban patients treated for gout did not have better gout outcomes compared to rural patients. Future research should consider provider-based interventions to improve outcomes.
