Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors use and the risk of gout: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Objective: To assess the relationship between use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and the risk of gout among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: A systemic review and meta-analysis were designed by reviewing articles published between 2000 January 1 and 2022 December 31 using PubMed system and Web of Science system based on the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The end point of interest was gout (including gout flares, gout events, starting uric-acid lowering therapy and starting anti-gout drugs use) among patients with T2DM using SGLT2i versus not using SGLT2i. A random-effects model was utilized to measure the pooled hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for the risk of gout associated with SGLT2i use. Results: Two prospective post-hoc analyses of randomized controlled trials and 5 retrospective electronic medical record-linkage cohort studies met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis demonstrated that there was a decreased risk of developing gout for SGLT2i use as comparing with non-use of SGLT2i among patients with T2DM (pooled HR=0.66 and 95%CI=0.57-0.76). Conclusions: This meta-analysis demonstrates that SGLT2i use is associated with a 34% decreased risk of developing gout among patients with T2DM. SGLT2i may be the treatment options for patients with T2DM who are at high risk of gout. More randomized controlled trials and real-world data are needed to confirm whether there is a class effect of SGLT2i for the risk reduction of gout among patients with T2DM.
