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

purposePrevious studies revealed that high serum uric acid (SUA) levels correlated with increased triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio. However, evidence is lacking regarding whether TG/HDL-C is an independent risk factor or just a simple marker of hyperuricemia. We aimed to investigate the relationship between TG/HDL-C and the risk of hyperuricemia in Chinese population.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study involved 15,198 subjects (43.14 ± 13.13 years, 54.9% men) who were free of hyperuricemia at baseline. The association between TG/HDL-C and the risk of hyperuricemia, in the total sample and stratified by subgroups, was examined by multiple logistic regression analyses.

resultsDuring 4 years follow-up, hyperuricemia occurred in 2365 (15.6%) participants. The cumulative incidence of hyperuricemia was significantly elevated with increasing TG/HDL-C quartiles (5.9, 10.8, 18.4, and 27.5%, respectively). After multivariate adjustment, the odds ratio for hyperuricemia in the highest compared with the lowest quartile of TG/HDL-C was 1.80 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.49, 2.18), and each SD increment of TG/HDL-C ratio caused a 10% additional risk for hyperuricemia. Moreover, subgroup analyses showed that the association between TG/HDL-C and the risk of hyperuricemia was more pronounced in women and normal-weight adults. The results were consistent when analyses were restricted to participants without metabolic syndrome.

conclusionsTG/HDL-C ratio was positively related to the risk of hyperuricemia in Chinese population, particularly in women and normal-weight individuals. These findings suggested the potential of TG/HDL-C ratio to serve as an independent risk indicator in the prevention of hyperuricemia.
