Major cardiovascular events in patients with cardiovascular monosodium urate deposits in atherosclerotic plaques.
Article in Rheumatology (Oxford, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveTo determine the association of cardiovascular atherosclerotic plaque monosodium urate deposits with the occurrence of major cardiovascular events in gout and hyperuricemia patients.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included patients with clinically suspicion of gout, who performed a dual energy computed tomography of the affected limb and thorax between 1 June 2012 and 5 December 2019. Clinical and laboratory parameters were retrieved from patients' charts. Established cardiovascular risk factors were evaluated. Medical history review identified the presence of major adverse cardiac events with a median follow-up time of 33 months (range 0-108 months) after the performed computed tomography scan.
resultsFull data sets were available for 189 patients: 131 (69.3%) gout patients, 40 (21.2%) hyperuricemia patients and 18 (9.5%) controls. Patients with cardiovascular monosodium urate deposits (n = 85/189, 45%) revealed increased serum acute phase reactants, uric acid levels and calcium scores in computed tomography compared with patients without cardiovascular monosodium urate deposits. Major adverse cardiac events were observed in 35 patients (18.5%) with a higher prevalence in those patients revealing cardiovascular monosodium urate deposits (n = 22/85, 25.9%) compared with those without cardiovascular monosodium urate deposits (n = 13/104, 12.5%, OR 2.4, P = 0.018).
conclusionThis is the first study demonstrating the higher hazard of major adverse cardiac events in patients with dual energy computed tomography-verified cardiovascular monosodium urate deposits. The higher prevalence of cardiac events in patients with cardiovascular monosodium urate deposits may facilitate risk stratification of gout patients, as classical cardiovascular risk scores or laboratory markers fail in their proper identification.
