Factors Influencing Early Serum Uric Acid Fluctuation After Bariatric Surgery in Patients with Hyperuricemia.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeIn the short-term after bariatric surgery, the incidence of gout flare was increased. Patients with hyperuricemia are among the high-risk group of postoperative gout attacks. The drastic fluctuation of uric acid is a risk factor for gout flare. This study aimed to explore factors that influenced the magnitudes of serum uric acid (sUA) fluctuation post-surgery in patients with hyperuricemia. MATERIALS AND
methodsOne hundred and sixty-five patients with preoperative hyperuricemia undergoing bariatric surgery were reviewed. Pre- and postoperative parameters were collected at baseline and each follow-up point. Univariable and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to explore independent factors that influenced the magnitudes of sUA change.
resultsThe sUA significantly declined from 489.4 ± 93.7 to 372.6 ± 101.4 μmmol/L in 1 day after surgery, then increased to 531.6 ± 175.5 μmmol/L at 1-month follow-up, and then dropped to 415.2 ± 105.6 and 396.5 ± 114.2 μmmol/L at 3-month and 6-month follow-up, respectively. Preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), magnesium (Mg), sex, and the change of zinc concentration during the first month are significantly related to magnitudes of sUA fluctuation in the short-term post-surgery period. Multiple linear regression analyses showed preoperative eGFR and HbA1c independently influenced the magnitudes of sUA change at 1 day after surgery; sex, the change of zinc concentration, and HbA1c at 1-month follow-up independently influenced the magnitudes of sUA change at 1-month follow-up.
conclusionPreoperative eGFR, HbA1c, sex, and the change of zinc concentration postoperative are independent factors affecting the magnitude of the fluctuation. Large-scale studies are warranted to support these findings.
