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

backgroundThis study aimed to assess the sex-specific effects of alcohol consumption on serum uric acid (SUA) levels regarding alcohol amount, beverage types and drinking habits in Koreans.

methodsWe evaluated 17,011 adults who underwent health examinations at Samsung Medical Center between January 2011 and June 2016. Alcohol intake was measured in a standard drink unit (SDU), contained 8 g of ethanol. Individuals were categorized into six groups according to their alcohol intake from none to heavy drinkers. A dominant beverage was defined if it accounted for more than 75% of total alcohol intake. Multivariable linear regression models were used to investigate alcohol effect on SUA levels.

resultsThe mean age was 51.67 ± 7.10 years, with 53.4% of men. Higher total alcohol intake was associated with higher SUA levels (

conclusionDose-dependent associations between SUA levels and alcohol consumption were consistently observed across different beverage types, drinking habits, sex, and BMI, even at low dose alcohol intake. These findings may aid healthcare providers to offer personalized guidance on alcohol consumption for individuals with hyperuricemia.
