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
Purpose: The impact of hepatic lipid accumulation on hyperuricemia presents an intriguing research avenue, particularly in light of existing studies linking obesity with hyperuricemia. Nevertheless, there remains a scarcity of quantitative investigations into the correlation between liver fat content (LFC) and hyperuricemia among prediabetic cohorts, notably within the Chinese demographic. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Health Management Center of Henan Provincial People's Hospital between January 2019 and December 2023, involving 2,950 pre-diabetic participants. Participants were categorized into groups based on diagnostic criteria for hyperuricemia. LFC was assessed using computed tomography. Statistical analyses included multivariate logistic regression, limited cubic spline regression models, and subgroup analyses to explore the association between LFC and hyperuricemia among individuals with pre-diabetes. Results: The prevalence of hyperuricemia among the 2,950 prediabetic individuals was observed to be 22.20%. Prediabetic individuals with hyperuricemia exhibited higher levels of LFC compared to those without hyperuricemia. This association persisted even after adjusting for other variables, indicating a heightened risk of hyperuricemia among prediabetic individuals with elevated LFC [Q4 vs Q1: odds ratio (OR 2.70), 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.93-3.79, Conclusion: In individuals with prediabetes, a higher LFC is associated with an elevated risk of hyperuricemia, especially when LFC exceeds 8.4%.
