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

This study aimed to investigate the association of serum uric acid (SUA) levels with dyslipidemia and its components and to further explore the age- and gender-specific association of SUA levels with dyslipidemia in Chinese adults.A cross-sectional study was performed among 8642 adults who underwent health examinations. A meta-analysis covering 17 studies was conducted to confirm the results.The prevalence of hyperuricemia and dyslipidemia was 9.25% and 20.44%, respectively. Participants with hyperuricemia had higher prevalence of dyslipidemia than those without hyperuricemia (34.42% vs 19.01%, P < .005). Compared with participants with SUA in the first quintile, the odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval) of dyslipidemia in the second, third, fourth, and fifth quintiles of SUA were 1.095 (0.901-1.332), 1.582 (1.315-1.904), 2.095 (1.752-2.505), and 3.212 (2.702-3.818), respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that SUA quintiles were significantly correlated with the likelihood of dyslipidemia in females aged > 50 years and in males, but not in females aged ≤50 years. The meta-analysis also showed that hyperuricemia increased the likelihood of dyslipidemia and the pooled OR for the highest uric acid level vs the lowest uric acid level was 1.84 (1.49-2.28).SUA levels are significantly associated with dyslipidemia, and this association is impacted by age and gender.
