Colchicine linked with risk reduction for myocardial infarction in gout patients: systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Zeitschrift fur Rheumatologie, 2022. 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
introductionThis meta-analysis aimed to identify the effect of colchicine on myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with gout.
methodsIn February 2021, a systematic computer-based search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Data on patients with gout that compared colchicine versus others (no use of colchicine) were retrieved. The endpoints were the incidence rate for MI. After testing for heterogeneity between studies, data were aggregated for fixed-effects models when necessary.
resultsThree clinical studies with 3012 patients (colchicine group = 1523, control group = 1489) were finally included in the meta-analysis. Colchicine was associated with a decreased risk for myocardial infarction (pooled odds ratio 0.35, 95% confidence interval 0.23-0.55, p < 0.00001).
conclusionsColchicine was effective in reducing the incidence of MI in patients with gout.
