Elevated serum uric acid increases incident coronary artery calcification risk in Chinese adults undergoing health checkups.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2026. 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
Background: Coronary artery calcification is a key predictor of cardiovascular disease. However, the association between serum uric acid and incident coronary artery calcification remains controversial, and relevant evidence from Chinese populations is limited. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study including 6,996 participants without coronary artery calcification at baseline, as detected by low-dose chest computed tomography. Multivariable Cox regression was performed to assess the association between serum uric acid and the risk of incident coronary artery calcification. Results: During a median follow-up of 6.0 years, 560 participants (8.0%) developed incident coronary artery calcification. Each standard deviation increase in serum uric acid was independently associated with a higher risk of incident coronary artery calcification [hazard ratio (HR): 1.21, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.09-1.35, Conclusions: This large Chinese cohort study provides new evidence that elevated serum uric acid is independently associated with an increased risk of incident coronary artery calcification, supporting the potential value of serum uric acid management in the early prevention of coronary atherosclerosis.
