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

backgroundCoronary artery disease (CAD) in adults ≤ 35 years of age is rare, but the incidence is on the rise and the risk factors for this age group are largely uncertain. Previous studies have shown that hyperuricemia (HUA) is an independent risk factor for CAD in the general population, whereas the role in adults ≤ 35 years of age with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is unclear.

methodsPatients, 18-35 years of age, diagnosed with ACS for the first time at the documented institu- tion between January 2005 and December 2015, were enrolled in the current study. The severity of CAD was assessed by the Gensini score. Patients were divided into two groups according to the definition of HUA. The relationship between HUA and CAD severity was assessed based on multi-variate analysis.

resultsSeven hundred seventy-one participants fulfilling the criteria were included in this study (mean age, 31.6 years; 94.4% male). HUA, which was defined as a serum uric acid level ≥ 7.0 mg/dL (420μmol/L) in males and ≥ 6.0 mg/dL (357 μmol/L) in females, accounted for 37% of the participants. Multivariate analysis identified that HUA is an independent risk factor of CAD severity, as assessed by the Gensini score, in very young adults with ACS (OR 8.28; 95% CI 1.96-14.59; p = 0.01), and the effect of HUA on CAD severity was second only to diabetes mellitus.

conclusionsHyperuricemia was shown to be an independent risk factor for CAD severity in young adults with ACS (18-35 years of age).
