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

Background: The uric acid-to-albumin ratio (UAR) is a novel inflammatory marker linked to cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of UAR for left atrial thrombus or spontaneous echo contrast (LAT/SEC) in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), explore its mediating mechanisms, and assess the incremental value beyond the CHA Methods: This retrospective study included 514 patients with NVAF undergoing transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Multivariable logistic regression, restricted cubic splines (RCS), generalized additive models (GAMs), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and mediation analyses were employed to evaluate the relationship between UAR and LAT/SEC. Reclassification indices assessed UAR's incremental value beyond the CHA Results: The prevalence of LAT/SEC was 17.32%. UAR was independently associated with LAT/SEC (OR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.25-1.66; Conclusion: UAR is an independent predictor of LAT/SEC in patients with NVAF, outperforming its individual components and providing significant incremental value beyond the CHA
