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

A lower blood pressure threshold (≥130/80 mmHg) to define hypertension has been proposed in several hypertension guidelines. This study assessed the relationship between hyperuricemia and incident hypertension, examining serum uric acid (SUA) cut-offs using both traditional and new definitions in a large Taiwanese cohort. This observational cohort study enrolled 26 973 participants from the Taiwan Biobank (TWB), followed for a median of 4 years. Regarding traditional definition (140/90 mmHg), hyperuricemia (odds ratio [OR], 1.297), quartile 3 of SUA (OR, 1.211), quartile 4 of SUA (OR, 1.495), and high SUA (OR, 1.127) were significantly associated with incident hypertension in males, and hyperuricemia (OR, 1.198), quartile 4 of SUA (OR, 1.359), and high SUA (OR, 1.099) were significantly associated with incident hypertension in females. As for new definition (130/80 mmHg), hyperuricemia (OR, 1.376), quartile 3 of SUA (OR, 1.229), quartile 4 of SUA (OR, 1.554), and high SUA (OR, 1.139) were associated with incident hypertension in males, and hyperuricemia (OR, 1.249), quartile 3 of SUA (OR, 1.253), quartile 4 of SUA (OR, 1.429), and high SUA (OR, 1.096) were associated with incident hypertension in females. The interaction between hyperuricemia and sex on incident hypertension was significant for both traditional (140/90, p < 0.001) and new (130/80, p = 0.001) definitions. Hyperuricemia was significantly associated with incident hypertension under both traditional and new definitions. A significant interaction between hyperuricemia and sex was noted, although the differences were not so great.
