Higher uric acid associated with elevated IL‑6 and IL‑1β levels in older inpatients: a cross‑sectional study.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Previous studies have shown the role of uric acid in triggering inflammatory reactions through its influence on a large group of cytokines. Therefore, searching for possible relationships between treating hyperuricemia and the course of inflammatory processes may provide valuable knowledge for clinical practice. The study was designed to determine the relationship between uric acid levels and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1-beta (IL-1 beta) levels determined in older adults during hospitalization. Patients were assigned to different study groups based on the uric acid levels and effectiveness, lack of treatment, or recognition of hyperuricemia. Classical variance analysis methods or nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis tests were used for statistical analysis. The analysis showed different correlations between the concentration of uric acid and the mentioned interleukins and designated study groups. In the case of properly treated hyperuricemia, a weak negative correlation is observed between the level of uric acid and interleukin IL-1β. There is a statistically significant positive correlation between the value of uric acid and interleukins IL-6 and IL-1β in people with untreated hyperuricemia and, to a lesser extent, in people with normal uric acid levels. The study's results suggest that effective treatment may be associated with appropriate control of uric acid concentration and modulation of the inflammatory response. However, due to several measurement limitations, further research is warranted to better elucidate these associations.
