Arthroscopic synovectomy for synovial hyperplasia in chronic knee gouty arthritis: A case report.
Article in World journal of orthopedics, 2024. 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
backgroundChronic synovitis due to chronic knee gouty arthritis (KGA) resulting in synovial hyperplasia has not been documented in the current literature, and thus the optimal management for this condition remains unclear. This case report discusses a 34-year-old man with a history of chronic KGA who presented with recurrent knee effusion resulting from synovial hyperplasia. CASE SUMMARY: A 34-year-old man presented to our outpatient clinic with a 5-year recurrent knee effusion and a history of chronic KGA. Symptoms persisted despite serial aspiration and urate-lowering medication (febuxostat 80 mg once daily) for 2 months. Diagnostic arthroscopy was performed due to the recalcitrant symptoms. Intraoperatively, tophi deposition and excessive thickening of the synovial membrane were observed. Synovial biopsy and partial synovectomy were performed, revealing chronic synovitis with synovial hyperplasia that was consistent with chronic KGA. At follow-up after 6 months, the patient reported no further episode of knee effusion.
conclusionArthroscopic synovectomy for synovial hyperplasia in chronic KGA sufficiently eradicates the symptoms of recurrent knee effusion.
