Imaging of gout: an atlas.
Review in Rheumatology advances in practice, 2025. 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
Gout is a common systemic disease defined by deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in articular and peri-articular structures, leading to recurrent bouts of inflammation. Imaging plays an important role in establishing the diagnosis when crystal aspiration is not feasible and the clinical diagnosis is uncertain. Each imaging modality has a unique role. Radiographs can demonstrate characteristic erosions and tophi in later stages of gout. Ultrasound has a major role in the diagnosis and assessment of gout. Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) enables precise visualization of MSU deposits and can determine disease burden. MRI can assess for non-specific inflammatory and structural changes. Both ultrasound and DECT are emphasized as part of diagnostic algorithms and the role of imaging is expanding with more recent advancements and evidence. This review provides an imaging-centric overview of each modality and its evolving significance in gout.
