Sex-specific association between serum uric acid and prolonged corrected QT interval: Result from a general rural Chinese population.
Article in Medicine, 2016. 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
Recently, it has been found that high level of serum uric acid (SUA) is causally related to sudden cardiac death (SCD). We examined the sex-specific associations of SUA with prolonged heart rate-corrected QT (QTc) interval in a general Chinese population.A large sample of 11,206 Chinese research participants aged 35 years and older was recruited from rural areas of Liaoning Province during 2012 to 2013. SUA were divided into quartiles separated for males and females. Prolonged QTc interval, assessed by the Bazett formula, was defined as cut points of 460 ms or longer in females and 450 ms or longer in males. Mean (+/- standard deviation) QTc intervals were 422.1 ± 24.2 ms among 5104 males and 436.1 ± 23.5 ms among 6102 females, respectively. In both sexes, SUA showed significant correlations with QTc interval (both P < 0.001). Among male participants, the highest quartile of SUA (>379 μmol/L) was related to an increased risk for prolonged QTc interval (odds ratios: 1.402, 95% confidence interval: 1.073-1.831) compared to the lowest quartile (≤276 μmol/L) after fully adjustment. However, there were no significant relationships between SUA and prolonged QTc interval among females in all the models.Males with high SUA are prone to a higher risk for prolonged QTc interval. This study provides novel explanation for population-based findings on SUA and SCD, as well as important implications for management strategies for hyperuricemic patients in clinical practice.
