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

introductionGlobally, the inadequate diagnosis and treatment of diabetic kidney disease remains a significant challenge, impeding effective management. The uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) has been associated with type 2 diabetes; however, its role in euthyroid patients with type 1 diabetic kidney disease (T1DKD) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the association between UHR and T1DKD in patients with euthyroidism.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 335 euthyroid patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) from 1,485 eligible participants. Sociodemographic and blood test data were collected from inpatients of the endocrinology departments of 18 hospitals in Gansu Province.

resultsAmong the 335 euthyroid patients with T1DM (mean age 35.5 years, 57.6% males), 49.6% had T1DKD. In the fully adjusted model, T1DKD was positively associated with UHR (odds ratio [OR] = 2.29; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.36-3.87; P = 0.002). A positive relationship between T1DKD and UHR was also observed (nonlinear, P = 0.575). Subgroup analysis showed that this independent association remained consistent regardless of sex, body mass index, nationality, and marital status. The predictive value of UHR was ~22% higher in adults than in individuals aged <18 years.

conclusionsUHR is positively related to DKD in patients with euthyroid T1DM. Assessing the UHR might be a valuable part of follow-up visits for patients with T1DM.
