A Unique Case of Infected Laryngeal Tophi With Underlying Gout.

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 disorder of purine metabolism described by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals with rare involvement in the head and neck. This is the first laryngeal gout case reported in Sabah, Malaysia. A 50-year-old gentleman with a long history of gouty arthritis presented with acute painless anterior neck swelling for two weeks. An ultrasound of the neck was done, which showed a midline neck mass with intralesional calcification of the cartilaginous component with suspicious erosion of the thyroid cartilage, which was suggestive of thyroid chondroma. However, a computed tomography (CT) scan of the neck showed the fluid collection in the subperichondrium of anterior thyroid cartilage with amorphous calcification, which raised suspicion of infected laryngeal gout. Based on histology and intraoperative findings, laryngeal gout was diagnosed as noted multiple tophy crystals. Microscopic examination confirmed birefringent crystalline deposits. The pathophysiology and management of this rare clinical entity are discussed. We reported this case due to its rarity as well as to increase awareness of laryngeal gout.
