Prevalence of and risk factors for high-altitude hyperuricaemia in Bai individuals: a cross-sectional study.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
objectiveHyperuricaemia is common in Bai individuals; however, its prevalence remains unclear. This work aimed to investigate high-altitude hyperuricaemia prevalence and risk factors in Bai individuals.
methodsAll eligible participants of Bai ethnicity (aged ≥18 years and undergoing routine medical examination at the People's Hospital of Jianchuan County between January and December 2019) were consecutively enrolled. Demographic and laboratory data were collected to investigate hyperuricaemia prevalence and associated risk factors.
resultsA total of 1393 participants were assessed, comprising 345 (24.8%) with hyperuricaemia showing a male predominance (287/865 [33.2%] males versus 58/528 [11.0%] females). Hyperuricaemia prevalence was significantly higher in participants aged ≥50 years (100/332 [30.1%]) versus those aged 30-40 years (59/308 [19.2%]), and in overweight/obese individuals compared with those showing an underweight or normal body mass index (BMI; 267/885 [30.2%] versus 78/508 [15.4%]). Finally, haemoglobin concentrations and serum uric acid levels were positively correlated.
conclusionBesides traditional risk factors, including age, sex and BMI, polycythaemia due to prolonged exposure to high altitude may also cause hyperuricaemia in Bai individuals residing in Yunnan Province.
