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
introductionHigh serum uric acid (SUA) levels are known to be correlated with cardiometabolic factors in adults, but this relationship is less clear in the pediatric population, particularly given the undefined cutoff points for high SUA levels. OBJETIVE: This study aimed to explore the associations between SUA levels and cardiometabolic factors in obese adolescents. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study of 391 adolescents aged 10 to 18 years with obesity (BMI > 95th percentile), assessing outcomes such as hypertriglyceridemia, reduced HDL cholesterol, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance. The statistical methods used to compare SUA levels with cardiometabolic factors included the Mann-Whitney U test and the chi-square test.
resultsThe results revealed that the median SUA level was 5.9 mg/dL, with significant differences between the sexes (5.5 mg/dL for girls and 6.1 mg/dL for boys). The highest SUA tertile (≥6.41 mg/dL) was associated with a significantly greater frequency of hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia than the lowest tertile (
conclusionsThe study concluded that higher SUA levels are significantly associated with specific cardiometabolic risks in adolescents with obesity, highlighting the importance of monitoring SUA levels in this population.
