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

Uncontrolled chronic gout can lead to deposition of monosodium urate crystals, better known as tophi. Such depositions can involve several organ systems, including unusual locations such as the vertebrae. Nevertheless, certain complications, such as hypercalcemia, can arise because of tophi. Despite an aggressive intervention, hypercalcemia might not resolve spontaneously, as long as an ongoing inflammatory process secondary to gouty tophi is taking place. Herein, we present the case of a 62-year-old man with a long history of gouty tophi who presented for back pain and was found to have spinal cord involvement with PTH-independent hypercalcemia which only resolved with pegloticase therapy.
