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

purposeIn overweight/obese adolescents, asymptomatic hyperuricemia is associated with increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome, its components, and a higher cardiometabolic risk. Whether similar associations exist in lean hyperuricemic adolescents is unknown. SUBJECTS AND

methodsIn 2424 adolescents (51.9% females) aged 16-19 years, anthropometric variables, blood pressure, uric acid, glucose, insulin, lipid profile, inflammatory markers, and renal function were determined. Continuous cardiometabolic score was calculated. Normouricemic vs hyperuricemic subjects were compared among lean and overweight/obese individuals of both sexes.

resultsFemales (5.4%) and males (13.3%) presented with hyperuricemia; among them 63% of females and 53% of males were lean. In both sexes, hyperuricemic lean and hyperuricemic overweight/obese adolescents displayed similar uric acid concentrations (eg, males: 455±30 vs 461±32 µmol/L, respectively,

conclusionIn lean adolescents, hyperuricemia is not associated with cardiometabolic profile indicating an increased risk. Existence of this rather prevalent phenotype remains undetected unless lean and overweight/obese subjects are analyzed separately. Longitudinal studies are needed to elucidate the potential clinical consequences of asymptomatic hyperuricemia in lean subjects in later life.
