Prevalence of Hyperuricemia and Associated Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Elite Athletes Practicing Different Sporting Disciplines: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Uricemia has been identified as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In the general population, hyperuricemia is associated with hypertension, endothelial dysfunction, and other cardiovascular risk (CVR) factors. Our aim was to explore the prevalence of hyperuricemia among Olympic athletes, evaluating the influence of sporting discipline and its correlation with CVR factors. We enrolled 1173 Olympic athletes classified into four disciplines: power, skill, endurance, and mixed. Clinical, anthropometric data, and complete blood test results were collected. Hyperuricemia was present in 4.4% of athletes, 0.3% were hypertensive, 11.7% had high-normal blood pressure values, 0.2% were diabetic, 1.2%. glucose intolerance, 8.2% active smokers, and 3% were obese. Males had a higher prevalence of hyperuricemia (5.3%) than females (3.4%) with no significant differences between different sporting disciplines (male,
