The effect of metabolic factors on the association between hyperuricemia and chronic kidney disease: a retrospective cohort mediation analysis.

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
backgroundHyperuricemia, hyperglycemia, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperhomocysteinemia are all established risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD), and their interplay could exacerbate CKD progression. This study aims to evaluate the potential mediation effects of hyperglycemia, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperhomocysteinemia on the association between hyperuricemia (HUA) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
methodsWe collected electronic medical record data from 2055 participants who underwent physical examinations at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. The data were utilized to investigate the mediating effect of various factors including systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), homocysteine (HCY), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), blood glucose (Glu), and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) on the relationship between HUA and CKD.
resultsUpon adjusting for confounding variables, mediation analysis indicated that only HCY acted as a mediator in the HUA-CKD relationship (p value < 0.05), exhibiting a statistically significant mediation effect of 7.04%. However, after adjustment for multiple testing, none of these variables were statistically significant.
conclusionsConsidering the observed associations between hyperuricemia, hyperglycemia, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and CKD, none of the factors of interest remained statistically significant after adjusting for multiple testing as potential mediators of hyperuricemia on CKD.
