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

objectivesIn the past decade, China has been characterised by large-scale urbanisation as well as rapid economic growth. The aim of this study was to further investigate the prevalence of hyperuricaemia (HUA) in an Eastern Chinese population.

designCross-sectional study.

settingSurvey of Prevalence in East China of Metabolic Diseases and Risk Factors China study.

participantsIn this study, 12 770 residents from 22 sites in Eastern China were recruited. Finally, 9225 subjects were included.

main outcome measuresThe serum levels of uric acid (UA), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated haemoglobin and other metabolic parameters were tested. Waist circumference, weight, height and blood pressure were also measured. Questionnaires regarding smoking, drinking, education were collected from the subjects. HUA was defined as serum UA >420 µmol/L for men and >360 µmol/L for women.

resultsThe prevalence of HUA in this Eastern Chinese population was 11.3% (9.9, 12.7) overall, 20.7% (17.7, 23.7) in men and 5.6% (4.3, 6.7) in women. The prevalence of HUA in urban subjects was higher than that in rural subjects (12.9 vs 10.8%, p<0.01). The prevalence of HUA was negatively and positively associated with age in men and women, respectively. Residents with high body mass index levels had a higher prevalence of HUA. In the logistic regression analysis, male sex, urban residency, total cholesterol, triglyceride, overweight, obesity, systolic blood pressure and low economic status were independently correlated with HUA.

conclusionsThe estimated prevalence of HUA in this Eastern Chinese population was 11.3% (9.9, 12.7) overall and 20.7% (17.7, 23.7) and 5.6% (4.3, 6.7) in men and women, respectively. HUA has gradually become an important public health issue in China. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR-ECS-14005052.
