1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: People with hyperuricemia (HUA) are often related to metabolic disorders such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome (MetS), and obesity. However, the correlation between excretion of uric acid and these diseases is unclear. Our study aimed to explore the relationship between uric acid excretion and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: A total of 228 HUA patients from Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from 2022 to 2023 were included in this study. We collected demographic, biochemical, and anthropometric data on each subject. Urine uric acid excretion (UUAE) was calculated enzymatically from a single urine collection that lasted 24 hours. And fractional excretion of uric acid (FEUA) was calculated from serum uric acid and creatinine and uric acid and creatinine. Binary logistic regression modeling assessed the association between uric acid excretion and T2D. Results: Of the 228 subjects, 13.4% had T2D and 48.7% had obesity. The obesity group had a lower FEUA (p<0.05) and a higher UUAE compared to the control group (p<0.05). And FEUA had a stronger correlation with the risk of T2D (p<0.001). Also, there was a negative association between BMI and FEUA and a positive link between BMI and UUAE in the outpatients. Conclusion: Increased FEUA levels were significantly associated with T2D in HUA patients. Therefore, routine calculating of FEUA is essential for proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment T2D of in HUA patients.
