Endovascular Interventional Procedure is a Significant Risk Factor of Postsurgical Gout: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Rheumatology and therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionSurgery is a risk factor for flares in people with gout. However, gout flares after endovascular interventional procedures are not well understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical features and risk factors for gout flare that develop during the postsurgical period including endovascular procedures.
methodsWe enrolled 222 patients with gout who developed postsurgical gout and 196 controls who had histories of gout but did not develop gout flares after surgery within 20 days. Clinical characteristics of patients who developed a postsurgical gout flare were compared with the controls.
resultsThe rate of endovascular interventional procedures was higher (38.74% vs. 13.48%, P < 0.001) in the flare group than in the no-flare group and lower in orthopedic surgery (13.96% vs. 41.84%, P < 0.001). The Cox model showed that endovascular interventional procedures (HR, hazard ratio 1.752; 95% CI, confidence interval 1.126-2.724, P = 0.013) and presurgical uric acid levels of ≥ 7 mg/dl (HR 1.489; 95% CI 1.081-2.051, P = 0.015) were significantly associated with increased risks of postsurgical gout flare, and taking colchicine before surgery were significantly associated with decreased risk of postsurgical gout flare (HR 0.264; 95% CI 0.090-0.774, P = 0.015). There was no significant difference in the types of endovascular interventional procedures between the flare group and the no-flare group.
conclusionsPatients with a history of gout should be more alert to recurrence gout flares after endovascular interventional procedures. Adequate presurgical control of serum uric acid levels and/or prophylactic treatment with colchicine will help prevent gout flares during the postsurgical period.
