1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThe association between habitual glucosamine use and incident gout has not been examined in previous studies. We aimed to evaluate the association of habitual use of glucosamine with the risk of gout in general population.

methodsA total of 436,594 participants (55.4% female) without prior gout at baseline who completed a questionnaire on supplementation use, which included glucosamine, in the UK Biobank were enrolled. Incident gout was recorded from self-report, death register, primary care, and hospital admission data.

resultsAt baseline, 53,433 (22.1%) females and 30,685 (15.8%) males reported habitual glucosamine use. During a median follow-up period of 12.1 years, 1718 (0.7%) females and 5685 (2.9%) males developed gout. After multivariable adjustment for major risk factors, glucosamine use was associated with a significantly lower risk of incident gout in females (hazard ratio [HR], 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.71-0.92), but not in males (HR, 1.05, 95% CI, 0.97-1.13), compared with non-use (P-interaction < 0.001). Among females, the inverse association between glucosamine use and gout was stronger in participants with diuretics use (HR, 0.64, 95% CI, 0.50-0.81) than those without diuretics use (HR, 0.89, 95% CI, 0.77-1.03) (P-interaction = 0.015). Moreover, gout genetic risk scores did not significantly modify the association between glucosamine use and the risk of incident gout in males (P-interaction = 0.548) or females (P-interaction = 0.183).

conclusionsHabitual glucosamine use to relieve osteoarthritis pain was related to lower risk of gout in females, but not in males.
