Prevalence of hyperuricemia and gout in relation to night fasting duration and eating frequency: NHANES 2007-2018.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 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
purposeThe relationship between circadian-aligned dietary patterns, including daily eating frequency and nighttime fasting duration, and uric acid metabolism is not well established. This study examined their associations with hyperuricemia and gout to design preventive strategies.
methodsData were obtained from 22,735 adults in NHANES data (2007-2018). Daily eating frequency and nighttime fasting duration were derived from two non-consecutive 24-h dietary recalls. Hyperuricemia was defined as serum urate ≥ 7.0 mg/dL in men or ≥ 6.0 mg/dL in women, and gout by self-reported physician diagnosis. Multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic spline models were used to assess associations.
resultsAmong 22,735 participants, the prevalence of hyperuricemia was 19.72% and gout 4.13%, respectively. Compared with more frequent eating (> 3 times/day), lower eating frequency (≤ 3 times/day) was associated with a higher prevalence of hyperuricemia (OR = 1.32; 95% CI 1.12-1.56, P = 0.001) and gout (OR = 1.33; 95% CI 1.01-1.75; P = 0.039). Nighttime fasting duration ≥ 14 h was also associated with hyperuricemia (OR = 1.48; 95% CI 1.21-1.82; P < 0.001). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses showed consistent results across gender and age groups.
conclusionDaily eating frequency and nighttime fasting duration were nonlinearly associated with hyperuricemia and gout. Lower eating frequency and prolonged fasting were linked to a higher risk of these conditions. These findings highlight the role of chrononutrition in metabolic health and suggest potential dietary strategies for prevention. Key Points • Identified nonlinear associations of meal frequency and nighttime fasting with hyperuricemia and gout. • Lower meal frequency and prolonged fasting were associated with a higher prevalence of hyperuricemia and gout. • Findings underscore the role of chrononutrition in metabolic health and inform preventive dietary strategies.
