The Relationship between Alcohol Consumption and Gout: A Mendelian Randomization Study.
Article in Genes, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 is a disease that manifests itself after decades of following a high-purine diet, with excessive alcohol consumption assumed to be one of the main contributors to the development of the disease. This study performs a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to determine whether alcohol consumption causally affects the risk of developing both hyperuricemia and gout. The results indicate that genetically predicted drinks consumed per week have no causal effect on neither the risk of gout (
