The prognostic role of serum uric acid level in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction.
Article in Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThe role of uric acid as a prognostic factor in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction is controversial. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the relationship between serum uric acid level and mortality during admission period and 30-day period after admission.
methodsWe assessed the relation between serum uric acid level and in-hospital and short-term mortality rates in 184 patients admitted with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction. We divided the patients according to their gender and uric acid level measured on admission into four groups: group A1: men with uric acid ⩽7 mg/dl versus group B1: men with uric acid >7 mg/dl and group A2: women with uric acid ⩽5.6 mg/dl versus group B2: women with uric acid >5.6 mg/dl. The patients were followed for 30 days after admission.
resultsIn-hospital mortality rate in group B1 was higher than group A1 [P value: 0.011, Relative risk: 13.33 (95% confidence interval: 1.55-114.7)]. Short-term all-cause mortality was significantly higher in group B1 patients [P value: 0.037, Relative risk: 3.3 (95% confidence interval: 1.02-10.64)]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis of data showed an odds ratio of 15.23 for in-hospital mortality and odds ratio of 3.76 for short-term mortality in male hyperuricemic patients.
conclusionsOur data suggest that in the acute phase of ST elevation myocardial infarction, uric acid has a prognostic role for in-hospital and short-term (30-day) mortality in men.
