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

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is one of the most prevalent chronic metabolic diseases worldwide. While serum uric acid (SUA) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) are individually associated with the development of MASLD, the prognostic effect of the UA, HDL and SUA-to-HDL ratio (UHR) on the all-cause mortality of MASLD patients remains unexplored. This study utilized data from 4280 MASLD patients in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2018. UHR was calculated by dividing SUA by HDL, and its association with all-cause mortality was assessed using Cox proportional hazards models. Adjustments were made for demographic, lifestyle, and clinical factors. A one-standard-deviation increase in UA or UHR was associated with a 19% (HR 1.19, 95% CI 1.08-1.31, P < 0.001) or 18% (HR 1.18; 95% CI 1.07-1.30; P < 0.001) higher risk of all-cause mortality of MASLD participants respectively, while no association was found between HDL and mortality. SUA and UHR are promising predictors of all-cause mortality in MASLD patients, offering clinicians a valuable biomarker for related risk stratification. Its inclusion in clinical assessments could guide interventions and improve prognosis, advancing management for MASLD patients.
