Association between serum uric acid and measures of adiposity in Chinese adults: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
objectiveThe purposes of the study were to investigate the detailed association of serum uric acid (SUA) with visceral fat area (VFA) and body fat percentage (BFP) as calculated by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and build non-invasive diagnosis models of hyperuricaemia by combining obesity-related indicators, age and sex.
methodA total of 19 343 adults were included. Multivariable regression analysis models were employed to analyse the association of SUA with VFA and BFP. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated to diagnose hyperuricaemia in adults.
resultsAfter fully adjusting for covariates, SUA was positively associated with VFA, BFP and body mass index (BMI) with βs of 0.447, 2.522 and 4.630 (95% CI= (0.412 to 0.482), (2.321 to 2.723) and (4.266 to 4.994)). After stratification by gender, this association persists (p<0.001). Fitted smoothing curves identified non-linear relationships between SUA and both VFA and BMI after full adjustment in males (inflection points: 93.9 cm
conclusionVFA and BFP are independent factors associated with SUA. In males, SUA shows a non-linear relationship with VFA and BMI. In females, SUA and BFP exhibit a non-linear relationship. In normal-weight and lean individuals, the accumulation of VFA and BFP may be involved in hyperuricaemia. VFA and BFP were helpful in diagnosing hyperuricaemia in adults, especially for normal-weight and lean populations.
