Association between hyperuricemia and dietary retinol intake in Southwest China: a cross-sectional study based on CHNS database.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Hyperuricemia is increasingly common in Southwestern China and poses significant health risks, including gout and cardiovascular disease. Retinol intake has been hypothesized to affect uric acid levels, but this relationship remains unclear. Methods: Data from 4,658 participants in the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) from 1991 to 2018 were analyzed. Dietary retinol intake was categorized using quantile-based methods, and hyperuricemia was identified as the primary outcome. Logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals, with analyses stratified by gender. Restricted cubic splines were utilized to evaluate the dose-response relationship. Results: The average age of participants was 40 ± 17.83 years, and 20.29% met the criteria for hyperuricemia. Logistic regression analysis identified a positive association between dietary retinol intake and hyperuricemia, with a more pronounced effect observed in men. The restricted cubic spline analysis revealed that the odds of hyperuricemia increased significantly when dietary retinol intake exceeded 3,538 IU/day for men and 4,504 IU/day for women. Conclusion: High dietary retinol intake is associated with an increased risk of hyperuricemia, with a stronger association observed in males. These findings suggest that dietary retinol intake under recommendation levels might be necessary to prevent hyperuricemia-related adverse health outcomes.
