Association between hyperuricemia and the risk of mortality in patients with osteoarthritis: A study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database.

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
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between hyperuricemia and the risks of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in patients with osteoarthritis (OA).
methodsA retrospective cohort study was performed on 3,971 patients using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database between 1999 and 2018. OA was diagnosed through specific questions and responses. The weighted COX regression models were used to explore the factors associated with all-cause mortality/CVD mortality in OA patients. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on age, gender, hypertension, dyslipidemia, CVD, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were measured as the evaluation indexes.
resultsDuring the duration of follow-up time (116.38 ± 2.19 months), 33.69% (1,338 patients) experienced all-cause mortality, and 11.36% (451 patients) died from CVD. Hyperuricemia was associated with higher risks of all-cause mortality (HR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.06-1.41, P = 0.008) and CVD mortality (HR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.02-1.72, P = 0.036) in OA patients. Subgroup analyses showed that hyperuricemia was related to the risk of all-cause mortality in OA patients aged >65 years (HR: 1.17, 95% CI: 1.01-1.36, P = 0.042), in all male patients (HR: 1.41, 95% CI: 1.10-1.80, P = 0.006), those diagnosed with hypertension (HR: 1.17, 95% CI: 1.01-1.37, P = 0.049), dyslipidemia (HR: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.01-1.39, P = 0.041), CVD (HR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.09-1.55, P = 0.004), and CKD (HR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.01-1.70, P = 0.046). The association between hyperuricemia and a higher risk of CVD mortality was found in OA patients aged ≤ 65 years (HR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.06-3.41, P = 0.032), who did not suffer from diabetes (HR: 1.36, 95% CI: 1.01-1.86, P = 0.048), who did not suffer from hypertension (HR: 2.56, 95% CI: 1.12-5.86, P = 0.026), and who did not suffer from dyslipidemia (HR: 2.39, 95% CI: 1.15-4.97, P = 0.020).
conclusionThese findings emphasize the importance of monitoring serum uric acid levels in OA patients for potentially reducing mortality associated with the disease.
