Increased risk of atrial fibrillation in young adults with gout: a nationwide cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 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
Background: Gout is a systemic inflammatory disorder increasingly associated with cardiovascular comorbidities. However, its potential relationship with atrial fibrillation (AF), especially in young adults, has not been fully delineated. To investigate the association between gout and incident AF in a large nationwide cohort of Korean adults aged 20-39 years. Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 6,506,721 individuals from the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database. Gout and AF were identified using ICD-10 codes M10 and I48, respectively. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for incident AF after adjusting for demographic, lifestyle, and clinical factors. Results: During a median follow-up of 12.59 years, gout was associated with a significantly increased risk of AF (fully adjusted HR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.31-1.58). The cumulative incidence of AF was significantly higher in the gout group (log-rank Conclusions: Gout was associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation among young adults. These findings suggest that gout may serve as a clinically relevant risk marker for AF, underscoring the need for proactive cardiovascular risk assessment in this population.
