Factors associated with gout in South Koreans: analysis using the National Health Insurance Corporation and the National Health Screening Exam databases.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with gout among South Koreans. A case control study of gout patients newly diagnosed between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2008, and matching controls was conducted using the nationwide database (National Health Insurance Corporation and National Health Screening Exam (NHSE) database), which included the health-care records of 48.1 million individuals. Of 495,998 newly diagnosed patients, we included 18,123 who were ≥40 years old and had an NHSE before diagnosis of gout. To elucidate the factors associated with gout, multivariate conditional logistic analyses were performed. Gout was associated with drinking ≥1/week (p < 0.001), drinking ≥1 bottle of soju/session (p < 0.001), high body mass index (BMI) (p < 0.001), high blood pressure (p < 0.001), high total cholesterol (p < 0.001), proteinuria (multivariate odds ratio (OR) = 1.75; 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 1.53-2.00), and an elevated uric acid (multivariate OR = 1.54; 95 % CI = 1.22-1.94). Exercise frequency was not significantly associated with gout. Prediabetic blood sugar level (100-125 mg/dL) was associated with gout in the univariate analysis, but not in the multivariate analysis. Diabetic blood sugar level (≥126 mg/dL) was associated with a decreased odds of gout (multivariate OR = 0.79; 95 % CI = 0.73-0.86). Our nationwide South Korean study showed that frequent and excessive alcohol consumption, high BMI, high blood pressure, high total cholesterol, proteinuria, and high uric acid are associated with gout.
