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

backgroundHyperuricemia is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) that presents in diabetes mellitus patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to appraise the serum uric acid and its association with CVD risk factors among diabetes mellitus patients.

methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out at the University of Gondar hospital from February to March, 2018. A total of 384 study participants were selected by systematic random sampling technique. Five milliliter blood sample was collected and analyzed using Mindray BS-200E machine. The data was analysed into SPSS version 20. Logistic regression model was used to investigate associated factors. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

resultsThe prevalence of hyperuricemia among type 2 diabetic patients was 31.5%. The serum uric acid concentration was higher among male (33.1%) compared to female (28.9%). Elevated systolic blood pressure (AOR: 4.4, 95%CI: 2.1-9.3), family history of DM (AOR: 1.5, 95%CI: 1.2-2.5) and BMI ≥ 25 Kg/m

conclusionThe prevalence of hyperuricemia was high in type 2 diabetes patients. The major predictors of CVD risk factors were elevated systolic blood pressure, family history of DM and BMI ≥ 25 Kg/m
