Comprehensive Treatment of Gout with Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Modern Pathophysiological Perspective.
Review in International journal of general medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Gout, a prevalent metabolic disorder characterized by elevated uric acid levels, has numerous adverse health implications. Current medical therapies can control symptoms and lower uric acid, yet they are often limited by adverse effects and incomplete long-term efficacy. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history of application in gout and is reported to provide advantages in both prevention and management. To evaluate its role from a modern biomedical perspective, this review systematically examined literature retrieved from PubMed, CNKI, and Web of Science up to 2024, covering randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and mechanistic investigations. The reviewed evidence indicates that TCM interventions, including classical herbal formulations and acupuncture, have been associated with improvements in inflammatory regulation, uric acid metabolism, symptom relief, and recurrence prevention. Moreover, experimental studies suggest potential protective effects on renal function and joint structures. By integrating clinical data with mechanistic insights, this review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the therapeutic potential of TCM in gout and to outline directions for future translational and clinical research.
