The Risk of BPPV, Meniere's Disease, and Vestibular Neuronitis in Patients with Gout: A Longitudinal Follow-Up Study Using a National Health Screening Cohort.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study evaluated the impact of pre-existing gout on the occurrence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere’s disease, and vestibular neuronitis, with the goal of identifying novel associations of gout with other comorbid diseases. The 2002−2019 Korean National Health Insurance Service Health Screening Cohort data were retrospectively analyzed. 23,827 patients with gout were matched to 95,268 controls without gout for age, sex, income, region of residence, and index date. The occurrence of BPPV, Meniere’s disease, and vestibular neuronitis was evaluated in both groups. The hazard ratios (HRs) of gout for BPPV, Meniere’s disease, and vestibular neuronitis were calculated using a stratified Cox proportional hazard model. Participants with gout demonstrated a 1.13-fold higher risk of BPPV (95% CI, 1.06−1.21, p < 0.001) and a 1.15-fold higher risk of Meniere’s disease (95% CI, 1.15−1.37, p < 0.001) than the matched control group. However, the HR for vestibular neuronitis was not significantly higher in the gout group (adjusted HR = 1.06, 95% CI, 0.93−1.21, p = 0.391). A previous history of gout was related to a higher risk of BPPV and Meniere’s disease. Additional studies are necessary to elucidate the mechanism underlying the relationship between gout and comorbid diseases such as BPPV and Meniere’s disease.
