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: Previous studies on the relationship between serum uric acid to serum creatinine ratio (SUA/SCr) and stroke have shown inconsistent results. This study investigates the association between SUA/SCr and stroke risk using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Materials and methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using NHANES data from 1999 to 2018. Weighted univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between SUA/SCr and stroke. The restricted cubic spline (RCS) curve was used to explore the nonlinear relationship between SUA/SCr and stroke risk. Results: In the regression model adjusted for all covariates, the OR (95% CI) for the association between SUA/SCr and stroke was 0.84 (0.78, 0.92), indicating a significant association between SUA/SCr and stroke risk. When SUA/SCr was analyzed as a categorical variable by quartiles, participants in the highest SUA/SCr quartile (Q4) had a 53% lower risk of stroke compared to those in the lowest quartile (Q1), with an OR (95% CI) of 0.47 (0.31, 0.71). RCS analysis revealed a nonlinear relationship between SUA/SCr and stroke risk (nonlinearity Conclusion: Our study indicates that higher SUA/SCr levels are associated with a lower risk of stroke. However, further prospective longitudinal studies are required to establish the causal relationship and explore the potential role of SUA/SCr in stroke risk assessment and prevention strategies.
