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

objectiveThis study assessed temporal relationships of serum uric acid (SUA) with blood glucose and determine the mediating effects of body mass index (BMI) and dyslipidemia on the relation of SUA and risk of type 2 diabetes.

methodsParticipants aged ≥ 45 years were participated in 2011 and followed up until 2015. Cox proportional hazards regression with a robust variance estimator was performed to explore the association of SUA with the risk of diabetes, and crosslagged path analysis was introduced to examine the temporal relationships between SUA and blood glucose. A mediation analysis was finally used to identify the mediating effect of BMI and dyslipidemia on the relation of SUA and the future risk of diabetes.

resultsA total of 9,020 participants were included with an average age of 58.59 years at baseline in 2011, and 53.6% of them were women. Linear dose-response relationship was identified by restricted spline cubic analysis between baseline SUA and follow-up blood glucose (the non-linear trend for fasting plasma glucose (FPG): β

conclusionsThese findings provide strong evidence that hyperuricemia preceded diabetes, and the effect of baseline SUA on follow-up type 2 diabetes was more pronounced among middle-aged and elderly Chinese women, especially in postmenopausal women, and this effect is partly mediated by BMI and dyslipidemia at baseline.
