Close linkage between serum uric acid and cardiac dysfunction in patients with ischemic heart disease according to covariance structure analysis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
High serum uric acid (UA) level has been assumed to be a risk factor for left ventricular (LV) dysfunction; however, the precise relationship between these conditions has not been fully examined because many confounding factors are associated with UA level. We herein examined the precise relationship by proposing structural equation models. The study population consisted of 1432 cases with ischemic heart disease who underwent cardiac catheterization. Multiple regression analyses and covariance structure analyses were performed to elucidate the cause-and-effect relationship between UA level and LV ejection fraction (LVEF). A path model exploring the factors contributing to LVEF showed that high UA was a significant cause of reduced LVEF (P = 0.004), independent of other significant factors. The degree of atherosclerosis, as estimated by the number of diseased coronary vessels, was significantly affected by high UA (P = 0.005); and the number of diseased coronary vessels subsequently led to reduced LVEF (P < 0.001). Another path model exploring the factors contributing to UA level showed that LVEF was a significant cause of high UA (P = 0.001), while other risk factors were also independent contributing factors. This study clearly demonstrated that there was a close link between high UA and LV dysfunction, which was represented by possible cause-and-effect relationship.
