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
objectivesThe cardiometabolic index (CMI) is a promising indicator for predicting cardiovascular diseases, but its relationship with hyperuricemia and gout is unclear. The present study was conducted to assess the association between CMI and uric acid (UA) and gout in Korean adults. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study used data from 16,234 adults aged 20 or older from the 8th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2019 - 2021).
resultsThere were several key findings in the present study. First, after adjustment for related variables and with quartile 1 of CMI as a reference, the odds ratios (ORs) of hyperuricemia (UA ≥ 8.0 mg/dL in men or ≥ 7.0 mg/dL in women) were significantly higher in quartile 2 [2.164 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.810-2.588)], quartile 3 of CMI [3.105 (95% CI, 2.604-3.704)], and quartile 4 of CMI [4.938 (95% CI, 4.142-5.886)]. Second, after adjustment for related variables and with quartile 1 of CMI as a reference, the ORs of gout were significantly higher in quartile 4 of CMI [1.850 (95% CI, 1.158-2.956)]. Third, CMI was significant for predicting hyperuricemia (area under the ROC curve [AUC], 0.687; 95% CI, 0.676-0.699; p < 0.001) and gout (AUC, 0.680; 95% CI, 0.651-0.710; p < 0.001).
conclusionsCMI was positively associated with hyperuricemia in Korean adults. In addition, an increased CMI is a significant indicator for predicting gout. Key Points • CMI was positively associated with uric acid level. • CMI was positively associated with hyperuricemia. • An increased CMI was associated with an increased prevalence of gout. • An increased CMI can be a useful indicator for predicting hyperuricemia and gout.
