The Prediction of Cardiac Events in Patients with Acute ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Meta-analysis of Serum Uric Acid.
Article in Open life sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThe current study aimed to explore the predictive ability of serum uric acid (SUA) in patients suffering from acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
methodPubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Medline databases were systematically searched from their respective inceptions to February 2018. Systematic analysis and random-effects meta-analysis of prognostic effects were performed to evaluate STEMI outcomes [i.e., in-hospital mortality, one-year mortality, in-hospital Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE)] in relation to SUA.
resultsA total of 12 studies (containing 7,735 patients with acute STEMI) were identified (5,562 low SUA patients and 3,173 high SUA patients). Systematic analysis of these studies showed that high SUA patients exhibited a higher incidence of in-hospital MACE (OR, 2.30; P < 0.00001), in-hospital mortality (OR, 3.03; P < 0.0001), and one-year mortality (OR, 2.58; P < 0.00001), compared with low SUA patients.
conclusionsAcute STEMI patients with high SUA exhibited an elevated incidence rate of in-hospital MACE, in-hospital mortality, and one-year mortality. Further randomized controlled trials will be needed to verify these results.
