Elevated uric acid, the metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease: cause, consequence, or just a not so innocent bystander?
Article in Endocrine, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
For more than 200 years initially seen as a cause of gout, speaking in a politically correct 21st century term, a disease of the rich and very well nourished people, many experimental and epidemiological studies have associated increased levels of serum uric acid (UA) with the classical components of the metabolic syndrome (MS), type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease [1]. This association with components of the MS is seen even in children and adolescents [2]. The topic of increased UA concentrations, its consequences or associations is getting more important nowadays due to the increments in the prevalence of obesity and the MS in both developed and developing countries.
