Hand function in gout: a comparative study with rheumatoid arthritis and healthy.
Article in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 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
objectiveThe aim of the study was to compare the hand function (grip strength and grip endurance, manual dexterity, and perceived hand functional disability) of participants with gout, rheumatoid arthritis, and healthy control.
methodsGrip strength and grip endurance were assessed using a hand dynamometer, while manual dexterity was evaluated through the Nine-Hole Peg Test. Perceived hand functional disability was measured using the Duruöz Hand Index.
resultsThe grip strength was similar between gout and healthy control (p>0.05). Dominant and non-dominant grip endurance in gout were lower than healthy control (p=0.008, p=0.001). The dominant placing, removing, and total Nine-Hole Peg Test time of gout compared to healthy control were higher (p=0.001, p<0.001, and p<0.001). The non-dominant placing, removing, and total Nine-Hole Peg Test time of gout were higher than healthy control (p=0.002, p=0.004, and p=0.002). The Duruöz Hand Index in gout was higher than healthy control (p=0.002), but lower than rheumatoid arthritis (p=0.008).
conclusionOur findings indicate that individuals with gout experience impairments in grip strength, manual dexterity, and perceived hand function. Assessing hand function during clinical examinations of patients with gout should be considered.
