Uric acid and unhealthy metabolic phenotype in Colombian children.
Article in Pediatric endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionOverweight and obesity are an increasing public health problems in children. Currently, attempts are being made to identify differential markers between metabolically healthy individuals (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy children (MUHO). This study aimed to evaluate the differences in uric acid (UA) levels in children with overweight or obesity classified according to their metabolic phenotype using the 2018 Damanhoury criteria. MATERIAL AND
methodsRetrospective cross-sectional study, included children aged 5-18 years who were evaluated at a pediatric endocrinology outpatient clinic. Eighty patients were evaluated; 36 were classified as MHO and 44 as MUHO according to the levels of triglycerides (TG), glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and blood pressure. The mean difference in uric acid levels was evaluated using Student's t-test. In addition, three insulin resistance index and their possible relationships with UA levels were analyzed.
resultsThe mean age was 11.6 years (SD 3.2 years). Uric acid levels showed a statistically significant difference between the MUHO group (mean 5.4 mg/dl -1.3 SD) and the MHO group (mean 4.5 mg/dl -1.4 SD) (p = 0.0069). A moderate positive correlation was found between uric acid levels and TyG ratio (correlation 0.4137) and TG/HDL index (0.3813).
conclusionsUric acid levels were higher in MUHO patients and correlated with insulin resistance indexes. These findings could be used as metabolic risk markers for the evaluation of children with overweight/obesity.
