Alcohol consumption and the incidence of hyperuricemia in Japanese men and women.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
The present study examined the association between alcohol consumption and hyperuricemia in Japanese men and women. This is a population-based retrospective cohort study (ISSA-CKD study). A total of 5153 participants without hyperuricemia were followed up from baseline (first health check-up of each participant) to the last visit during the study period (2008-2019). Alcohol consumption was classified into non-drinkers, occasional, and daily drinkers (average alcohol intake < 22 g/day, 22-43 g/day, 44-65 g/day, or ≥ 66 g/day). The outcome was incident hyperuricemia (uric acid > 416 μmol/L [7.0 mg/dL]). During average follow-up of 5.5 years, 496 men and 128 women developed new-onset hyperuricemia. Increases in the incidence (per 1,000 person-years) of hyperuricemia were associated with the frequency/amount of alcohol consumed among men (non-drinkers: 33.7, occasional: 43.9, daily (< 22 g/day): 41.7, daily 22-43 g/day: 60.6, daily 44-65 g/day: 68.0, and daily ≥ 66 g/day: 92.7; P < 0.001). Similar results were observed in women (non-drinkers: 6.1, occasional: 10.3, daily (< 22 g/day): 8.8, daily(≥ 22 g/day): 13.4; P = 0.0051). After multivariable adjustment, hazard ratios increased with higher alcohol consumption in both men and women. In conclusion, alcohol consumption was associated with an increased risk of hyperuricemia in each sex. Even low or occasional intake elevated the risk, indicating no safe level of alcohol consumption.
