Frequency of erosive arthritis and associated factors in gout patients: a single-center radiological study.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 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
backgorundThere are limited data on radiographic frequency of erosive artrhritis (EA) in gout patients.
aimTo describe the frequency, and associated factors of EA in gout patients. MATERIALS-
methodsAdult patients diagnosed with gout according to the 2015 ACR/EULAR Classification Criteria were enrolled from a single tertiary rheumatology center. Medical records were reviewed retrospectively. Anteroposterior foot radiographs were independently evaluated by two rheumatologists. Erosive arthritis was defined as the presence of a cortical break with sclerotic margins and an overhanging edge appearance in at least one metatarsophalangeal joint.
resultsA total of 210 patients were included in study, with a mean age of 57.8 years, and 88.1% were male. Median disease duration was five years. The freqeuncy of tophus was 10.5% (n = 22), and 20% of patients (n = 42) had EA. In EA-positive group, alcohol consumption (p = 0.022), disease duration (p < 0.001), upper extremity joint arthritis (p < 0.001), knee arthritis (p = 0.005), serum urate level (p = 0.029), and the presence of tophus (p < 0.001) were significantly higher. In multivariable regression analysis, disease duration (p < 0.001; OR = .903, 95% CI: .859-.949), alcohol consumption (p < 0.001; OR = 46.361, 95% CI: 10.955-196.204), and the presence of tophus (p = 0.041; OR = 2.693, 95% CI: 1.043-6.953) were identified as potential independent predictive factors of EA.
conclusionOur finding of an association between alcohol consumption and EA is particularly striking. Prospective studies using sensitive imaging modalities are needed to further elucidate this relationship.
