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

Gout and calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease (CPPD) are frequently associated with comorbid disorders, including coronary artery disease and osteoarthritis, in which ectopic calcification with basic calcium phosphate crystals commonly affects arteries and articular cartilage, respectively. Accepting the 2024 G-CAN Gold Medal, I review my research philosophy for translational etiopathogenesis investigation in gout and CPPD, atherosclerosis, responses to arterial injury, and osteoarthritis. Since molecular homeostasis points to pathophysiology and vice versa, I have followed selected molecular players and pathways to phenotypes. Typically, behind each disease target is another target. Illuminating passageways between etiopathogenic pathways is especially productive when using approaches beyond conventional "omics" to reveal the impact of specific post-translational protein modifications, and changes in protein conformation, complex assembly, and interactomes. Highlighting these concepts, I review my past studies on specific molecular pathways, and current perspectives for the following: (i) PP
