Hypouricemia in the emergency department: A retrospective, single-center study.
Article in Health science reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Backgrounds: Few studies have reported the prevalence and characteristics of hypouricemia in the emergency department (ED). We investigated the prevalence and characteristics of hypouricemia in the ED of a university-affiliated hospital in Japan. Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional single-center study. All adult patients (18 years old or older) who had their serum uric acid (SUA) measured at the ED between 2011 and 2021 were included. Information collected included age, sex, SUA, and serum creatinine. Hypouricemia was defined as an SUA level ≦2.0 mg/dL. Results: A total of 10,551 patients were included in the study. Fifty-one percent were male. The median SUA levels were significantly higher in men than in women (6.0 [4.8-7.4] vs. 4.7 [3.7-6.1], Conclusion: The distribution of SUA levels and prevalence of hypouricemia differed significantly by sex and age in the ED. Malignancy was the leading cause of hypouricemia in the ED.
