The correlations of serum uric acid with lean mass, fat mass and grip strength in adolescents aged 12-19 years.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: Serum uric acid (sUA) has emerged as an intriguing modulator of body composition and physical function, yet its complex associations with musculoskeletal parameters during the critical period of adolescence remain incompletely characterized. To address this knowledge gap, we sought to elucidate the relationships between sUA and key indicators of body composition and musculoskeletal health in adolescents aged 12-19 years, specifically examining appendicular lean mass index (ALMI), appendicular fat mass index (AFMI), and combined grip strength. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed data from 2,003 adolescents participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2014. We examined the relationships between sUA and ALMI, AFMI, and combined grip strength using multivariate linear regression models. Subgroup analyses were conducted to explore effect modifications by age, sex, and race/ethnicity. Results: Higher sUA levels were positively associated with ALMI and grip strength, and inversely associated with AFMI after adjusting for potential confounders. These associations exhibited distinct patterns across age, sex, and race subgroups, with the most pronounced effects observed among boys aged 12-15 years and in non-Hispanic White and Black populations. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated significant associations between sUA levels and various parameters of musculoskeletal health and body composition, suggesting that sUA may serve as a potential biomarker for monitoring physical development and maturation during adolescence.
