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
Background: Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), one of the recognized indicators of renal function, is a key marker of metabolic diseases, but there are few data on the association of BUN levels with hyperuricemia (HUA) in the general adult population. The aim of the study is to explore the relationship between BUN and HUA in the general population and the potential impact of gender on this relationship. Methods: This study was conducted involving 17,846 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 1999-2020. Data on age, gender, race, marital status, education level, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1C), serum uric acid (SUA), BUN, creatinine, and albumin were collected from all participants. Multivariate logistic regression, curve fitting and subgroup analyses were employed to investigate the associations between BUN and HUA stratified by sex. Results: After weighted analysis, the results of this study represented approximately 164.42 million U.S. adults. The overall prevalence of HUA was 18.22%, and 20.72% in males and 15.82% in females. In the fully adjusted model, there was a positive association between BUN and HUA and this positive association remained significantly stratified by sex. Smoothed curve-fitting analysis revealed that the dose-response relationship between BUN and the risk of developing HUA was linear in men and nonlinear in women. There was evidence of an interaction between BUN levels and gender status that increased the risk of HUA and the OR for the association between BUN and HUA was higher in females than in males. Subgroup analyses showed that the association between BUN and the risk of developing HUA remained consistently positive across all subgroups in both male and female participants. Conclusions: This study confirmed that BUN were positively associated with HUA among U.S. adults that remained significant when stratified by sex, but there were gender differences in the form and extent of this positive correlation.
