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

backgroundSerum uric acid is associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression; however, causality remains uncertain. Although renal urate handling, rather than merely hyperuricemia, may dominate kidney outcomes, the prognostic value of urinary urate indices and the potential modifying effect of urate-lowering therapy (ULT) remain unclear.

methodsThis retrospective study included patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 15-60 mL/min/1.73m

resultsAmong 551 patients (244 receiving ULT), 117 experienced MAKE over a median follow-up of 2.3 years. In the adjusted analysis, FEUA <5.5% was associated with a higher overall risk (hazard ratio [HR], 3.56; 95% CI, 1.96-6.48), with a stronger association in the no-ULT group (HR, 11.59; 95% CI, 3.80-35.31). Conversely, FEUA was not associated with the outcome within the ULT group. FEUA × ULT interaction was significant, indicating that the prognostic meaning of FEUA depends on concomitant ULT.C
