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

The role of serum uric acid (UA) as a marker or risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still controversial. The strong association of serum UA with established risk factors such as hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and chronic kidney disease makes it difficult to establish a direct causal role of serum UA in the development and progression of CVD. The main aims of this review are: 1) to briefly summarize the most relevant studies concerning the association of serum UA with hypertension, chronic kidney disease, CVD events, and death both in patients without diabetes and in those with Type 2 diabetes; and 2) to briefly discuss the putative underlying mechanisms that link serum UA to adverse CVD outcomes. A search was conducted to identify relevant studies in the major electronic databases (MEDLINE and EMBASE, from January 1990 to December 2010) using Medical Subjects Headings and keywords. Collectively, by reviewing the published data in the literature, it emerges that serum UA may exert a number of potentially adverse cardiovascular effects. Nevertheless, the prognostic role of elevated serum UA level as a causal risk factor of adverse CVD outcomes remains still controversial, especially in patients with Type 2 diabetes. At this time, the treatment of asymptomatic hyperuricemia for the primary prevention of CVD is not recommended.
