Predictive value of uric acid to albumin ratio for carotid atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus: A retrospective study.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 study aims to evaluate the correlation between the uric acid (UA) to albumin (ALB) ratio (UAR) and carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), as well as to assess the predictive value of UAR for CAS.
methodsA cross-sectional, single-center study was conducted, retrospectively analyzing hematological parameters from 259 T2DM patients with CAS (T2DM-CAS) and 131 T2DM patients without CAS (T2DM-WCAS). Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and carotid plaques (CAP) were measured using Doppler ultrasound.
resultsThe UAR level in the T2DM-CAS group was significantly higher than that in the T2DM-WCAS group (P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that UAR is an independent risk factor for T2DM-CAS (P < 0.001). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for UAR in predicting T2DM-CAS was 0.712, with a Youden index of 0.278.
conclusionHigh levels of UAR are closely associated with the occurrence of T2DM-CAS and may serve as a useful biomarker for predicting T2DM-CAS.
