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
ObjectiveThis cross-sectional study investigates the association between the serum uric acid-to-creatinine (UA/Cr) ratio and gallstone risk using NHANES 2017-2020 data, while exploring modifying effects of demographic and metabolic factors.MethodsA total of 5450 adult participants were included after excluding individuals with missing gallstone diagnoses or incomplete UA/Cr data. UA/Cr was calculated as uric acid (mg/dL)/creatinine (mg/dL). Gallstone diagnosis relied on self-reported questionnaires. Weighted logistic regression models (unadjusted, partially adjusted, fully adjusted) assessed associations, with covariates including demographic (age, sex, race/ethnicity, education), lifestyle (smoking, alcohol use), and metabolic factors (BMI, hypertension, total bilirubin, diabetes). A restricted cubic spline analysis was further employed to visualize potential nonlinear relationships. Additionally, subgroup analyses were conducted to evaluate the association between the UA/Cr and gallstone risk across various subgroups.ResultsGallstone prevalence was 9.85% (537/5450), with higher UA/Cr in affected individuals (7.29 vs. 6.16,
