1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveWe aimed to determine whether a proinflammatory dietary pattern (mechanism-based diet) is associated with incident female gout in two large cohorts of US women.

methodsWe prospectively observed 79,104 women from the Nurses' Health Study (1984-2016) and 94,382 women from the Nurses' Health Study II (1991-2017); 45,445 men from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (1986-2016) served as a comparison cohort. Validated food frequency questionnaires were used to calculate Empirical Dietary Inflammatory Pattern (EDIP) (food-based index predictive of circulating inflammatory biomarkers) scores every four years. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate multivariable associations between EDIP and incident, physician-diagnosed gout. We further tested whether these associations were independent of key guideline-based healthy eating patterns that previously showed beneficial associations with gout (ie, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension [DASH], Alternative Healthy Eating Index [AHEI]).

resultsWe documented 5,425 incident female gout cases over 4,372,243 person-years. EDIP was positively associated with female gout risk; hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval [CI]) for the most versus least proinflammatory quintile was 2.02 (1.83-2.22). Additional adjustment for body mass index attenuated this association (HR 1.71 [95% CI 1.55-1.88]). Reversing the EDIP score, women in the most anti-inflammatory EDIP quintile had the largest magnitude of protective association for gout (HR 0.58 [95% CI 0.53-0.65]) compared with HRs for healthiest DASH (HR 0.80 [95% CI 0.73-0.87]) and AHEI quintiles (HR 0.81 [95% CI 0.74-0.89]). The magnitude of association between EDIP and male gout was substantially smaller (HR 1.24 [95% CI 1.13-1.37]; P-heterogeneity <0.0001).

conclusionThese findings support a pivotal role of inflammation as a potential modulator between diet and gout onset, particularly among women.
