Gout and Patellar Tendon Tears: An Uncommon Intersection.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Patellar tendon (PT) tears are a rare cause of anterior knee pain and are usually classified as either partial or complete, with various potential etiologies. We present a unique case of a PT tear in a young male patient, precipitated by a history of gout. This case highlights the uncommon intersection of PT tears and gouty arthritis involving the entheses. The patient was a 36-year-old man of Indian origin who presented with a two-week history of atraumatic right knee swelling, with no identifiable precipitating factors aside from a known history of gout flares. Clinical examination revealed swelling and joint line tenderness in the right knee, though the overall assessment was otherwise unremarkable. In this paper, we explore management options for patients presenting with this rare manifestation of gout leading to a PT tear. This case highlights the importance of early assessment through thorough history-taking, physical examination, utilization of appropriate investigation modalities, and expedited treatment to facilitate a favorable outcome. Early intervention enabled a swift recovery and return to sports for the patient. It also serves as a valuable reminder for clinicians to consider PT tears in the differential diagnosis of anterior knee pain and to investigate potential causes of such tears, which may influence subsequent management.
