Prediction for Risk of Hypouricemia in Hospitalized Patients: A Single-center, Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective Hypouricemia, defined as a serum uric acid (SUA) level ≤2 mg/dL, could be a risk factor for death in hospitalized patients. However, how explanatory variables can explain hypouricemia as an objective variable in a logistic regression analysis remains unknown. To predict the risk factors for hypouricemia in hospitalized patients using a robust Bayesian logistic (RBL) model. Methods This study retrospectively enrolled patients who visited Yonago Medical Center between April 2020 and March 2021. The association between potential risk factors and hypouricemia was analyzed using the RBL model in Python-modulated PyMC3. The final model was selected based on the lowest Watanabe-Akaike information criterion (WAIC). Results Of the 618 patients, 64 (10.4%) had hypouricemia. Based on the model according to the lowest WAIC, independent risk factors for hypouricemia were febuxostat [odds ratio (OR) 5.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.32-13.4], amino acids in parenteral nutrition (OR 5.19, 95% CI 1.62-15.1), TMP-SMX (OR 4.20, 95% CI 1.66-10.9), emaciation (OR 3.48, 95% CI 1.75-7.21), and serum sodium level (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.84-0.96). Conclusion The RBL model predicted amino acids in parenteral nutrition, TMP-SMX, emaciation, and low serum sodium levels for hypouricemia, in addition to the authentic risk factor febuxostat.
