The role of lipid traits in mediating the effect of body mass index on serum urate.
Observational study in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Objective: To explore whether total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglyceride (TG) are mediators in the pathway of body mass index (BMI) on serum urate and determine the proportion of the mediation effect. Methods: This study used observational and two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses to explore the mediation effects of TC, HDL, LDL, and TG in the pathway of BMI on serum urate. We determined the size and the extent to which these lipids mediate any effect of BMI on serum urate. Results: Observational analysis results showed that HDL and TG can partially explain the association of BMI on serum urate, and the proportion of mediation effect was 10.2% and 8.9%, respectively. MR results demonstrated that TG has a causal effect on serum urate ( Conclusion: To a certain extent, TG mediates the effect of BMI on serum urate, and the risk of gout may be reduced by controlling both BMI and TG.
