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

purposeTo investigate the association between soluble suppressor of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) levels and cardiovascular disease predictors in patients with gout. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with gout who were tested for sST2 but did not receive uric acid-lowering therapy. These patients were classified into elevated and normal sST2 groups using a cut-off of >49.6 ng/mL and >35.4 ng/mL in males and females, respectively. Correlations between clinical and laboratory variables, sST2 levels, and elevated sST2 level predictors were assessed using linear and logistic regression analyses.

resultsNotably, 27 (11.3%) and 211 (88.7%) of the 238 identified patients had elevated and normal sST2 levels, respectively. Linear regression analysis revealed that male sex (β=-0.190,

conclusionPatients with gout and elevated sST2 levels have a higher risk of future cardiovascular disorders, which may provide insights into risk stratification and the implementation of intervention strategies.
