Giant Tophaceous Gout: The Importance of Therapeutic Compliance.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Gout is a metabolic disease resulting from the deposition of monosodium urate crystals in joints, tissues, and organs. Nowadays, the treatment of hyperuricemia is easily accessible and widespread and mainly consists of xanthine oxidase inhibitors and uricosurics. In refractory and advanced cases of gout, amputation surgery may be required. The authors present the case of an 85-year-old man who is non-compliant with hypouricemic medication, has exuberant gout, and has refused amputation surgery several times. The patient went to the emergency department with a triad of acute kidney injuries, acute gout, and poorly controlled pain. Cases of tophaceus gout such as the one presented are very rare nowadays.
