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

Gout is characterized by monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition secondary to hyperuricemia. Gout is associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its related comorbid conditions such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). Major advances have been made in the comprehension of the link between MetS and gout. Despite observational studies suggesting an association between MetS-related conditions and hyperuricemia, there is no proof of causality. Most studies using Mendelian randomization did not find hyperuricemia as a causal factor for MetS-related conditions. In contrast, these conditions were found associated with hyperuricemia, which suggests a reverse causality. Among patients with gout, this high CVD risk profile implies the need for systematic screening for MetS-related conditions. Most international guidelines recommend systematic screening for and care of CVD and related risk factors in patients with gout. Some anti-hypertensive agents, such as losartan and calcium channel blockers, are able to decrease serum urate (SU) levels. However, there are potential interactions between gout management therapies and the treatment of metabolic diseases. Some data suggest that anti-inflammatory drugs used for gout flare treatment, such as colchicine or canakinumab, might have benefits for CVD. Regarding the impact of urate-lowering therapies on CVD risk, recent studies found a similar CVD safety profile for allopurinol and febuxostat. Finally, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors are promising for gout because of their ability to decrease SU levels and risk of recurrent flares. In this review, we focus on the clinical challenge of managing MetS in patients with gout, particularly older patients with co-medications.
