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

Objective: To explore the gender-, age-, and weight status-specific prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) and its associated risk factors among Chinese children and adolescents with obesity. Methods: A total of 1329 children aged 2-17 years, who were diagnosed with obesity and hospitalized in our center from January 2016 to December 2022 were recruited. They were divided into mild obesity, moderate obesity, and severe obesity groups. HUA was defined as fasting serum uric acid level >420 μmol/L for boys and >360 μmol/L for girls. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for HUA. Results: The highest proportion of hospitalized obese children was aged 10-13 years comprising 677 (50.9%) followed by those aged 6-9 years comprising 348 (26.2%) whereas the least proportion was aged 2-5 years comprising 76 (5.7%). The above differences in age distribution were still present in subgroup analyses according to weight status. Most hospitalized obese children were boys (64.7%), especially in the severe obesity group (75.0%). The overall estimated prevalence of HUA in obese children was 54.8%. It presented a gradual increase trend over the last 7 years, with more rapidly in boys than in girls. Subgroup analysis by weight status showed that the prevalence of HUA was higher in children with moderate obesity (64.3%) and severe obesity (64.2%) when compared with mild obesity (48.2%) ( Conclusion: The prevalence of HUA in Chinese obese children and adolescents is unexpectedly high. Childhood HUA was significantly associated with obesity. Gender and age differences were observed in the association between childhood obesity and HUA. Obese children aged ≥12 years should be focused on screening the risk of HUA.
