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

Background: The correlation between serum uric acid/creatinine (SUA/Cr) ratio and hypertension risk has not been well studied. This study aims to examine whether the SUA/Cr ratio is a predictor of hypertension. Methods: This cohort study comprised 171 men aged 64 ± 11 (mean ± standard deviation) years and 266 women aged 65 ± 10 years recruited for a survey at the community-based annual medical check-up. The main outcome was the presence of hypertension (antihypertensive medication) and having systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 90 mmHg. Results: The baseline SUA/Cr ratio was significantly correlated only with DBP at 3 years in men ( Conclusions: These results suggest that the baseline SUA/Cr ratio could be an important predictor for the incidence of hypertension in Japanese community-dwelling persons.
