Positively increased visceral adiposity index in hyperuricemia free of metabolic syndrome.
Article in Lipids in health and disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundVisceral adiposity index (VAI) was closely associated with metabolic syndrome, however almost no research focused on VAI and hyperuricemia, therefore, this study was conducted to determine the relationship of VAI and hyperuricemia free of metabolic syndrome and estimate the power of VAI as predictor for hyperuricemia.
methodsA cross-sectional research coming from a health check-up program was conducted. All participants were divided into four groups according to VAI quartiles. A multivariate logistic analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the quartiles and hyperuricemia. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the accuracy of predictions for hyperuricemia.
resultsVAI was independent risk factor of hyperuricemia. The ORs of which in the upper quartile were 3.077 (95%CI 1.78-5.293), P = 0.000, in model 1, after adjusting for age, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, fast plasma glucose, serum creatinine, triglyceride, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low density lipoprotein cholesterol; and 3.041 (95CI 1.767-5.233), P = 0.000, in model 2, after adjusting for the above plus physical activity, diet, smoking habits, alcohol consumption, hypertension and diabetes history. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) value of VAI was 0.618 (95%CI 0.572-0.665), P = 0.000; it was higher than WC, which was 0.556 (95%CI 0.508-0.604), P = 0.024, for hyperuricemia.
conclusionsVAI was associated with hyperuricemia among individuals free of metabolic syndrome, and also a powerful indicator.
