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
Laryngeal gout is an exceedingly rare manifestation of advanced, poorly controlled gout. It is characterized by the deposition of gouty tophi within various laryngeal structures. Similar to peripheral joints, monosodium urate crystals develop due to high concentrations of serum uric acid. When localized to the laryngeal region, tophi can induce a range of symptoms and complications, including hoarseness, dysphagia, respiratory distress, and infection. Alternatively, it may present as an asymptomatic anterior neck mass. The thyroid cartilage, true vocal cords, arytenoids, and cricoarytenoid joints have all been previously described as areas of involvement. In this case report, we describe the presence of a large, asymptomatic laryngeal gouty tophus situated between the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage that was initially interpreted as ectopic thyroid tissue on CT imaging. Management typically includes urate-lowering therapy, reduction in alcohol and red meat consumption, and potential surgical intervention for obstructive symptoms. This case underscores the importance of considering laryngeal gouty tophi in patients with chronically uncontrolled hyperuricemia presenting with anterior neck masses.
