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

backgroundLittle is known about the relationship between high baseline serum uric acid (SUA) and incident hypertension in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

objectivesTo evaluate the ability of baseline SUA to predict the incidence of hypertension in non-hypertensive patients with T2D.

methodsThe association between SUA and mean 20-year incidence of hypertension was examined in 1,666 non-hypertensive patients with T2D from Isfahan Endocrine and Metabolism Research Center outpatient clinics, Iran. The primary outcome was incident hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure (BP) of 140 mmHg or higher and/or diastolic BP 90 mmHg or higher and/or use of antihypertensive medications. The mean (standard error (SE)) age of participants was 49.4 years (0.25 years) with a mean (SE) duration of diabetes of 6.1 years (0.15 years) at initial registration. We used multiple logistic regression to estimate the odds ratio (OR) for the incidence of hypertension across quartiles of SUA, and plotted a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to assess discrimination.

resultsThe highest quartile of SUA was not associated with hypertension compared with the lowest quartile in multivariable adjusted models (OR: 1.22, 95% CI: 0.87, 1.73). The area under the ROC curve for SUA was 51.7% (95% CI: 48.9, 54.5).

conclusionsHigh initial SUA levels are not a predictor of incident hypertension in an Iranian T2D population.
