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
Purpose: Visceral fat accumulation can negatively affect uric acid metabolism in healthy adults. The hypertriglyceridemic-waist (HTGW) phenotype is a predictor of diabetes and cardiometabolic risk. This study aimed to investigate the association between the HTGW phenotype and asymptomatic hyperuricemia in Korean adults. Patients and Methods: The study included 23,240 adults, aged 20-80 years who underwent comprehensive health examinations at a general hospital in Gyeonggi Province, Korea, from January 2020 to December 2022. The HTGW phenotype was defined as the simultaneous presence of elevated serum triglyceride (TG) levels and increased waist circumference (WC). The diagnostic capability of the HTGW phenotype for hyperuricemia and its association with the condition were assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of hyperuricemia in the HTGW phenotype was 3.44 times higher than that in the normal TG normal waist (NTNW) phenotype. Compared with those in the NTNW group, the hazard ratios for developing hyperuricemia in the HTGW group were 2.887 (2.566-3.249, P <0.001) for men and 7.341 (5.139-10.487, P <0.001) for women, and these values remained significant after adjusting for potential confounders. The stratified analysis revealed that the HTGW phenotype, coupled with diabetes, had the highest probability of developing asymptomatic hyperuricemia (2.55 times). ROC curve analysis revealed that the area under the curve values of the WC*TG index for hyperuricemia diagnosis were 0.702, 0.627, and 0.685 for all participants, men, and women, respectively. Conclusion: Among Korean adults, the HTGW phenotype was closely related to hyperuricemia in both men and women and showed a particularly strong association in patients with diabetes. It may be used in combination with an indicator that can complement its accuracy for identifying individuals at high risk of hyperuricemia.
