Associations of Changes in Knee Hyaline Cartilage Composition Measured With Dual-Energy Computed Tomography in Gout, Aging and Osteoarthritis.
Article in Cartilage, 2024. 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
objectiveTo characterize dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) changes depicting hyaline cartilage changes in gout patients with and without osteoarthritis (OA) and in comparators without gout.
designPatients with suspected crystal-associated arthropathy were enrolled and underwent bilateral DECT scans of the knees. Standardized regions of interest were defined in the femorotibial hyaline cartilage. Five DECT parameters were obtained: CT numbers in Hounsfield units (HU) at 80 and 140 kV, the electron density (Rho), the effective atomic number (Z
resultsA total of 113 patients with gout (mean age 63.5 ± 14.3 years) and 15 comparators without gout (mean age 75.8 ± 11.5 years) were included,
conclusionGout was associated with DECT-detected changes in cartilage composition, similar to those observed in older patients, with some similarities and some differences to those seen in OA. These results suggest the possibility of potential DECT biomarkers of OA.
