Uric acid: a starring role in the intricate scenario of metabolic syndrome with cardio-renal damage?
Review in Internal and emergency medicine, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Elevated uric acid levels are a common finding in patients with metabolic syndrome and in those with cardiovascular and renal disease, but the meaning of this elevation is still unclear. In patients with chronic kidney diseases, it could merely reflect the reduction in glomerular filtration rate: but uric acid levels are known to be elevated in people, also in younger ones, prior to the development of hypertension or renal disease, independently of several risk factors. Multiple potential mechanisms suggest a causative role for uric acid in vascular disease. Uric acid has been shown to be involved in metabolic pathways that lead to oxidative stress, endothelial disfunction, and to a vascular and systemic inflammatory response. Moreover, the elevation in uric acid levels observed after fructose ingestion, with a consequent reduction in nitric oxide, may lead to a reduced glucose uptake in the skeletal muscle, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance. Besides these bench research data, also clinical studies showed the beneficial effects of lowering uric acid therapies on several markers of cardiovascular and renal disease. To date, however, there is no evidence indicating that such therapies, that are not free of risk, may reduce cardiovascular events; so that to manage our prescriptions, we need larger, prospective, interventional data.
