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

backgroundGout is a metabolic disease caused by decreased blood uric acid excretion and purine metabolism disorders. Long-term and persistent metabolic dysfunction gradually affects other organ functions and is the main factor inducing Myocardial Infarction (MI) and Heart Failure (HF), seriously affecting the health of patients. This study adopts a meta-analysis to analyze the risk of MI and HF in gout patients.

methodsClinical research literature related to gout complicated with MI or HF was searched in databases such as PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, etc. through computer retrieval before March 2023. Literature content was carefully read and retrieved, and screening was conducted based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Relevant data were extracted from the final screened literature, and a forest map was drawn using RevMan 5.3 software for meta-analysis.

resultsAfter searching in various databases, 2519 articles were obtained. After screening, 8 articles were finally included for meta-analysis. Among the 22 included literature, 9 analyzed the risk of gout and MI, and heterogeneity tests showed P = 0.20 and I

conclusionCompared to non-gout patients, gout patients are more prone to MI or HF and are not affected by gender. However, among gout patients, women have a higher risk of MI or HF than men.
