The association between serum uric acid / serum creatinine ratio and in-hospital outcomes in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundThe role of Serum uric acid (SUA) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was controversial, which might be influenced by the renal clearance function of the patients. The present study aimed to explore the association between serum uric acid to serum creatinine ratio (SUA/Scr), reflecting a net production of SUA, and the in-hospital outcomes of elderly patients with AMI.
methodsIn this retrospective study, a total of 330 elderly AMI patients (≥ 75 years) were enrolled. Data of SUA and Scr on admission were collected to calculate SUA/Scr ratio. Logistic regression analysis and receiver-operating curves were performed to assess the association between SUA/Scr ratio and in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and all-cause death.
resultsAmong the 330 patients, 68 patients had MACEs and 44 patients died. Patients with MACEs or died had lower SUA/Scr values compared with those without MACEs or survival (P < 0.05). Univariate logistic analysis showed that a lower value of SUA/Scr (< 3.45) was significantly associated with in-hospital MACEs (odd ratios (OR): 2.359, 95% confidential interval (CI): 1.369-4.065, P = 0.002) and death (OR: 2.424, 95% CI: 1.275-4.608, P = 0.007). After correcting for confounding factors, a lower SUA/Scr value was still independently associated with in-hospital MACEs (OR: 2.144, 95% CI: 1.169-3.934, P = 0.014) and death (OR: 2.125, 95% CI: 1.050-4.302, P = 0.036). Subgroup analysis showed that the association between a lower SUA/Scr ratio and increased risk of in-hospital outcomes could observed only in males (OR: 2.511, 95%CI: 1.211-5.207, P = 0.013 for MACEs; OR: 2.730, 95% CI: 1.146-6.502, P = 0.023 for death).
conclusionsA lower SUA/Scr ratio was associated with an increased risk of in-hospital adverse events in elderly patients with AMI, especially in males, which maybe a marker of poor outcomes for elderly AMI patients.
