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: Globally, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing public health concern. Serum uric acid (SUA) is an easily detectable and readily available biochemical indicator that has long been recognized as an independent risk factor for CKD. In addition, studies have indicated a potential relationship between SUA and body mass index (BMI). However, studies on the effect of SUA levels on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in adolescents with different BMIs are very rare. Methods: Weighted multiple regression analysis was used to estimate the independent relationship between SUA and log-transformed eGFR. Additionally, we used a weighted generalized additive model and smooth curve fitting to describe the nonlinear relationships in the subgroup analysis. Results: First, SUA was negatively associated with log-transformed eGFR even after adjusting for all covariates (β=-0.0177, 95% CI: -0.0203-0.0151, P<0.0001). Second, the results of the stratified analysis found that after adjusting for all covariates, the decrease in log-transformed eGFR due to changes in per SUA levels (Per 1, mg/dL increase) was elevated in female adolescents (β=-0.0177, 95% CI: -0.0216, -0.0138, P<0.0001), adolescents aged 12-15 years (β=-0.0163, 95% CI: -0.0200, -0.0125, P<0.0001) and black (β=-0.0199, 95% CI: -0.0251, -0.0148, P<0.0001) adolescents. Furthermore, we found that adolescents with a higher BMI had higher SUA levels, and the effect of SUA on eGFR was significantly higher in underweight adolescents (β=-0.0386, 95% CI: (-0.0550, -0.0223), P<0.0001). Conclusion: SUA was negatively associated with the eGFR in adolescents aged 12-19 years. Furthermore, we found for the first time that SUA affects the eGFR differently in adolescents with different BMIs. This effect was particularly significant in underweight adolescents.
