Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of pegloticase for the treatment of chronic refractory gout through meta-analysis.
Article in Intractable & rare diseases research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 arthritis that affects more than 2% of adults in developed countries. 3% to 4% of gout is chronic refractory gout. Conventional treatments are considered invalid. A new drug, pegloticase is used to treat chronic refractory gout, and there are still many questions about efficacy and safety. We searched PubMed, web of science, and the Cochrane Library. Preprints and references of related literature were also considered. Related efficacy and safety indicators were statistically analyzed by Review Manager 5.4 to conduct meta-analysis. A total of one article and one clinical trial were included. Pegloticase is able to reduce serum uric acid and reduce tender joints, thereby improving joint function. But pegloticase has more adverse events. Pegloticase can be used to treat chronic refractory gout. However, Pegloticase has a higher risk of adverse events. Considering the efficacy and safety, the scope of clinical applications of pegloticase can be further widened in patients in good medical condition.
