Socioeconomic differences in hyperuricemia and gout: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Endocrine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
purposeThere are multiple risk factors have different influence on the disorder. However, the risk of hyperuricemia and gout in different socioeconomic status (SES) remains unclear. Recent studies provided results that contradicted to former studies. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of evidence to date and to assess the associations between SES and hyperuricemia or gout worldwide.
methodsWe searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases to identify studies that investigated the association between SES and hyperuricemia or gout. Studies that presented risk estimates were included. We conducted meta-analyses using random effects to combine unadjusted and adjusted effect estimates.
resultsData from 14 studies were included, 9 provided data about hyperuricemia and 5 provided gout. Overall, there was an association between higher educational level and a higher risk of hyperuricemia (POR = 1.38, 95% CI 1.04-1.73) but lower risk of gout (POR = 0.59, 95% CI 0.47-0.71). Subgroup meta-analysis showed no association between all SES measures and hyperuricemia or gout in males or females.
conclusionsOur study suggested that the associations between SES and hyperuricemia gout are different. Higher educational level was related to a higher risk of hyperuricemia but lower risk of gout. Given the limitations of our study, future studies are needed to investigate specific mechanisms underlying the relationship among SES differences in hyperuricemia and gout. Strategies to prevent and control SES inequalities in hyperuricemia and gout should be explored and adopted.
