The impact of uric acid on acute coronary syndrome prognosis in elderly patients.

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
backgroundUric acid (UA) plays an important role in cardiovascular diseases, yet its implications in elderly patients remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to explore the impact of UA on the prognosis in advanced-age patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
methodsWe included 526 patients aged 80 and older who were diagnosed with ACS. The UA levels were measured at admission, and patients were divided into four groups based on quartiles of UA levels. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) during follow-up were recorded.
resultsThe median UA level was 344.09 μmol/L, while the median follow-up duration was 64 months. Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrated a higher cumulative incidence of MACE during long-term follow-up in the Q4 group (Log-rank
conclusionElevated UA levels were identified as independent risk factors for MACE in elderly patients with ACS. The optimal predictive value of UA for poor cardiovascular prognosis was significantly lower than the traditional definition of hyperuricemia.
