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

introductionThe current study aimed to evaluate the association of anti-hyperuricemia treatment and prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD) in hypertensive patients. MATERIAL AND

methodsPrimary hypertensive patients with hyperuricemia were enrolled. All participants were separated into two groups: anti-hyperuricemia and control groups (without anti-hyperuricemia treatment). Comparisons of prevalent CVD including coronary heart disease, ischemic stroke and heart failure were made and the associations of anti-hyperuricemia treatment and prevalent CVD were analyzed.

resultsCompared to the anti-hyperuricemia group, patients in the control group had significantly higher serum C-reactive protein (10.6 ±2.8 vs. 7.4 ±1.2 mg/dl) and uric acid (UA) levels (438 ±33 vs. 379 ±64 µmol/l), and were more likely to receive β-blockers (34.2% vs. 31.1%) and calcium channel blockers (49.2% vs. 43.4%). The prevalence of ischemic stroke was higher in the control group (15.8% vs. 11.3%). Compared to other groups, blood pressure was significantly higher in patients in the 4

conclusionsIn hypertensive patients with hyperuricemia, anti-hyperuricemia treatment was associated with lower odds of prevalent CVD.
