Prevalence and Metabolic Factors of Hyperuricemia in an Elderly Agricultural and Fishing Population in Taiwan.
Article in Archives of rheumatology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivesThis study aims to explore the potential condition-related sex differences to understand the overall pathogenesis of hyperuricemia among the elderly agricultural and fishing population in Taipei, Taiwan. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis study included 4,372 healthy elderly agricultural and fishing professionals (2,766 males, 1,606 females; mean age 74.4±6.6 years; range 65.0 to 90.3 years) voluntarily admitted to a teaching hospital in Taipei, Taiwan for physical exams in 2010. Their fasting blood samples were drawn through venipuncture, and they were administered a structured questionnaire by clinical nurses.
resultsThe overall prevalence of hyperuricemia was 30.4%, which increased significantly with increasing age (p<0.001). The prevalence was similar in males (30.2%) and females (30.6%) (p=0.78). Age, obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia as well as low high- density lipoprotein and high blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and alanine amino transferase levels were significantly associated with hyperuricemia. Hypercholesterolemia (odds ratio [OR]=1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05-2.50) and high creatinine levels (OR=3.75, 95% CI: 2.64-5.33) were significantly associated with hyperuricemia in males, whereas type 2 diabetes (OR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.22-1.93) and high alanine amino transferase levels (OR=1.79, 95% CI: 1.31-2.43) were significantly associated with hyperuricemia in females. Hyperuricemia disparity among age groups was also revealed.
conclusionSeveral sex-related differences with regard to factors including age, obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein, high blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and alanine amino transferase levels were indicated in the prevalence of hyperuricemia in this specific elderly population.
