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
Introduction: The relationship between uric acid (UA) level and blood pressure (BP) is not clear, although most studies suggest BP reduction in patients treated with UA level lowering agents. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between UA level and BP among patients hospitalized in a department of internal medicine. We also intended to investigate the relation between the allopurinol dose prescribed and BP. Material and methods: We reviewed hospital records of 561 patients (mean age: 65.46 ±17.46 years) hospitalized in a department of internal medicine, in whom UA level was determined on admission. Results: We did not find a significant correlation between UA level and BP values in the whole group, nor in patients not taking any BP-lowering or any UA-lowering drug. Multivariable analysis showed that allopurinol dose was not independently related to BP. Age (OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.03-1.06 per 1 year), diabetes (OR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.14-3.16), stage 2 (OR = 4.96, 95% CI: 2.15-11.46) and stage 3 obesity (OR = 13.66, 95% CI: 5.90-31.60), both vs. patients without stage 2/3 obesity, but not UA level, were independently related to the diagnosis of hypertension. Conclusions: Our study does not confirm an independent relationship between UA level and BP nor between UA lowering and BP in a population of hospitalized patients.
