Association between liver-type fatty acid-binding protein and hyperuricemia before and after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

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
Background: Liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (FABP1) contributes to metabolic disorders. However, the relationship between FABP1 and hyperuricemia remains unknown. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between serum FABP1 and hyperuricemia in patients with obesity before and after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Methods: We enrolled 105 patients (47 men and 58 women) with obesity who underwent LSG. They were divided into two groups: normal levels of uric acid (UA) (NUA, n = 44) and high levels of UA (HUA, n = 61) with matching sexes. FABP1 levels and other biochemical parameters were measured at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months after LSG. Results: Serum FABP1 levels were significantly higher in the HUA group than in the NUA group (34.76 ± 22.69 ng/mL vs. 25.21 ± 21.68 ng/mL, Conclusions: FABP1 was positively associated with UA and may be a risk factor for hyperuricemia in obesity. FABP1 levels were higher but decreased more after LSG in obese patients with hyperuricemia than in those without hyperuricemia.
