1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo analyze the factors associated with non-radiographic bone erosion in gout patients, to improve the understanding of bone erosion in gout, and to promote the early detection of bone erosion.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of gout patients treated at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from January 2018 to January 2022. Bone erosion was detectable by ultrasound but not detected by X-ray as non-radiographic bone erosion; no bone erosion was detected by both ultrasound and joint X-ray as undetected bone erosion. A case-control study was used, and the two groups were matched 1 ∶ 2 according to age and sex. The differences between the two groups were compared in terms of general information, joint involvement characteristics, laboratory indicators and complications. In the univariate analysis,

resultsAmong the 41 patients with non-radiographic bone erosion, the top three joints with bone erosion before its occurrence were metatarsophalangeal joint (12 cases), ankle (10 cases), and knee (7 cases). There were 82 patients undetected with bone erosion. There were no significant differences in general information between the two groups (

conclusionAt least 3 flares of gout per year predicts the occurrence of radiologically negative bone erosion, and these patients should be given more attention to achieving treatment targets.
