[Gout (ICD 10: M10): a retrospective analysis of the data from the histopathological arthritis register of the DGORh].
Article in Zeitschrift fur Rheumatologie, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundGout is considered to be the most common inflammatory arthritis worldwide. The histopathological arthritis register of the German Society for Orthopedic Rheumatology (DGORh) was founded in 2018. The aim of this register is a systematic collection of histopathological data on joint pathologies. As part of a master's thesis in medicine at the Sigmund Freud Private University (Vienna, Austria) the data on gout cases were retrospectively analyzed.
objectiveThe objective of this analysis was to determine the prevalence of gout, the localizations of gout in the musculoskeletal system and the sensitivity of clinical gout diagnostics. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn cooperation with the Medical Treatment Center for Histology, Cytology and Molecular Diagnostics in Trier, Germany (MVZ-HZMD-Trier GmbH; Germany), tissue samples from 190 different orthopedic clinics and practices were analyzed and 7595 datasets were collected and stored in an arthritis register created by the DGORh. All gout cases stored between 1 January 2018 and 20 January 2020 were eligible for retrospective analysis (N = 102).
resultsThe prevalence of gout was calculated at 1.34%. Of 108 histopathologically confirmed urate crystal depositions and gout granulomas, 76 were found in the lower extremities (70.37%), 30 in the upper extremities (27.78%) and 2 in the spinal joints (1.85%). The sensitivity of clinical gout diagnostics could be determined at 73.53%.
conclusionGout affects different anatomical regions with the first metatarsophalangeal joint being the main localization site. The sensitivity of clinical gout diagnostics was determined at 73.53%. These results emphasize the importance of histopathology in gout diagnostics.
