Tophaceous gouty arthritis with spondylolysis: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Spinal gout is a rare occurrence, and the combination of gout with lumbar spondylolysis has not been reported. We present a unique case involving a 29-year-old male who complained of low back pain for 1 month. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed articular subchondral erosions and a mass in the left L5-S1 facet joints. Initially treated for a spinal infection, the patient subsequently underwent lumbar spinal canal decompression and fusion, achieving complete relief. Postoperative pathology confirmed the spinal lesions to be tophaceous gout. Dual-energy CT or biopsy can assist in confirming the diagnosis. This report discusses another rare case of tophaceous gouty arthritis with spondylolysis to be added to the literature.
