Gender-specific association between serum uric acid levels and hypertension in East China: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThis cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the correlation between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and the incidence of sex-specific high blood pressure in East China.
methodsA total of 27,075 patients (14,399 males and 12,676 females) were enrolled in this study. The participants were grouped based on their SUA levels. Thereafter, the quartile (Q1-Q4) nodes of male SUA and female SUA were calculated based on the differences in the mean values of male and female SUA levels. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to evaluate the correlation between SUA and high blood pressure incidence.
resultsSUA expression levels were higher in males than in females. High SUA levels in males were positively correlated with hypertension. In females, high SUA levels were positively correlated with both hypertension and diabetes. After adjusting for confounding risk factors, SUA was confirmed as an independent risk factor for high blood pressure among males. Additionally, significant differences were observed between SUA and high blood pressure in body mass index (BMI) as well as diabetes subgroup analysis among males. There was a sex-specific correlation between SUA, high diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and high systolic blood pressure (SBP). Finally, there was a linear dose-response relationship between SUA and high blood pressure in males.
conclusionSUA is an independent risk factor for the incidence of high blood pressure after adjustment for other potential confounding risk factors in males. Sex-specific differences were also observed between SUA levels and high DBP or SBP.
