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

Objective: The relationship between the serum uric acid-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is unknown. This study aims to investigate the relationship between UHR and cardiovascular disease risk in patients with MAFLD. Methods: Data for this study were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017-2020, in which 3289 patients with MAFLD participated. Participants were grouped according to their 10-year cardiovascular disease risk level, which was assessed by the Framingham Risk Score (FRS). We used binary logistic regression to analyze the relationship between UHR and CVD risk and smoothed curve-fitting models and threshold effect analyses to describe the relationship between UHR and CVD risk scores. Results: After adjusting for all confounders, individuals with high UHR exhibited a higher prevalence of intermediate/high risk by FRS [odds ratio (OR): 2.12, 95% confidence interval (CI): (1.34, 3.35), Conclusion: The UHR was significantly associated with a 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with MAFLD. Higher UHR was associated with higher FRS in patients with MAFLD. The UHR can be a valid biomarker for predicting the 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with MAFLD.
