The association between genetic polymorphisms in GCKR and gout: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2025. 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
backgroundAs far as we know, there are no studies summarizing single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the GCKR gene associated with gout, and the association of SNP in the GCKR gene with gout is controversial.
methodsStudies were obtained from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, last searched on February 20, 2024. We reviewed the reported SNP loci of the GCKR gene associated with gout. A meta-analysis was performed to examine the association of SNPs with gout and to investigate whether this association was consistent across populations.
resultsA total of 11 studies were included. 4 GCKR gene SNP loci associated with gout were identified, namely rs780094, rs1260326, rs6547694, rs780093. Meta-analysis showed that SNPs of the GCKR gene were significantly associated with gout (odds ratio [OR]: 1.27; 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 1.21-1.34). Rs780094 (OR: 1.38; 95%CI:1.31-1.44), rs1260326 (OR: 1.26; 95%CI: 1.13-1.39), and rs780093 (OR: 1.17; 95%CI: 1.06-1.27) were all significantly associated with gout. There were no statistically significant differences in effect sizes for rs780094, rs1260326, and rs780093 across populations.
conclusionsWe identified 4 SNPs of the GCKR gene associated with gout and demonstrated that all these SNPs are important genetic factors for gout risk.
