Analysis of uric acid and high-density lipoprotein levels in refractory posner-schlossman syndrome patients: a matched case-control study by the propensity score.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundRecent studies have indicated that oxidative stress is a crucial pathophysiological process in glaucoma. We hypothesized that Posner-Schlossman syndrome (PSS) is a vascular inflammation in the ciliary body due to oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction. Thus, we investigated serum uric acid (UA) and lipid levels in patients with refractory PSS with the aim of providing basic evidence for the mechanism of PSS.
methodsThis is a retrospective, case-control study. A total of 81 refractory PSS and 409 control participants were included in this study. Clinical and laboratory characteristics were reviewed using an electronic medical system. Propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis was performed to reduce demographic differences. The t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 test were used to assess the differences between the PSS and control groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictors of PSS.
resultsThe higher serum UA (364.14 ± 98.72µmol/L vs. 322.38 ± 72.09µmol/L), higher low-density lipoprotein (LDL) / High-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio (2.50 ± 0.97 vs. 1.95 ± 0.72) and lower HDL (1.29 ± 0.32 mmol/L vs. 1.59 ± 0.38 mmol/L) can be noticed in refractory PSS than control group. Logistics regression identified UA > 420 µmol/L (OR = 4.461) and the HDL < 1.03 mmol/L (OR = 3.896) were the independent risk factors for refractory PSS.
conclusionsIncreasing serum UA and decreasing HDL levels were positively correlated with the incidence risk of refractory PSS. Further prospective longitudinal studies and animal models are needed.
