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

backgroundTo determine whether variability of serum uric acid (UA) is associated with risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a healthy population.

methodsRetrospective, longitudinal cohort study was conducted at a health examination center in China. The study enrolled subjects who had a minimum of three visits between 2011 and 2018. We assessed UA change and visit-to-visit UA variability including standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), variability independent of the mean (VIM), and average real variability (ARV). Rapid estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline was defined by annual eGFR change < -4 mL/min/1.73 m

resultsTen thousand seven hundred and thirty-eight participants were included. During 4.43 ± 1.31 years follow-up, there were 535 cases with rapid eGFR decline and 240 cases developed CKD. Compared to the non-rapid eGFR decline group and non-CKD group, the UA annual changes and variability were higher in the rapid eGFR decline group and CKD group. The highest quartile of UA annual changes and variability showed a higher incident rate of rapid eGFR decline and that of CKD. After adjusting for covariates, OR for eGFR rapid decline in UA variability were 1.69 [1.53, 1.86] for annual changes of UA, 1.17 [1.08, 1.27] for SD of UA, 1.16 [1.06, 1.25] for CV of UA, 1.16 [1.07, 1.25] for VIM of UA, and 1.10 [1.02, 1.19] for ARV of UA. Consistent results were observed when CKD is used as the outcome.

conclusionsHigher variability of serum UA was independently associated with the risk of kidney impairment.
