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

Objectives: To explore the optimal quantitative parameters and clinical application value of ultrasound viscoelastic imaging in the differential diagnosis of acute gout (AG) and non-AG. Methods: This study enrolled 102 patients presenting with acute joint swelling and pain, and divided them into the AG group and non-AG group. Differences in viscoelastic quantitative parameters, including the shear wave velocity (C), viscosity coefficient (V) and dispersion coefficient (D), between the two groups were compared. Parameters with significant differences were included in generalized estimating equations (GEE) analysis to screen out the optimal parameters for predicting AG, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of each parameter alone and in combination. Results: The AG group included 45 patients, and the non-AG group included 57 patients. There were statistically significant differences in C Conclusion: Among ultrasound viscoelastic parameters, C
