Correlations of serum uric acid, fibrinogen and homocysteine levels with carotid atherosclerosis in hypertensive patients.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: Uric acid (UA), fibrinogen (FIB), and homocysteine (Hcy) are the main contributors to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and are related to hypertension. Hypertension plays a role in atherosclerosis (CAS). We hence explored the correlations of UA, FIB, and Hcy levels with CAS in hypertensive patients. Methods: Totally 170 hypertensive patients were retrospectively included and assigned into the Non-sclerosis, Thickened, and Plaque groups based on carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), with serum UA, FIB, and Hcy compared. Correlations of UA, FIB, and Hcy with cIMT and carotid atherosclerotic plaque (CAP) were assessed using Spearman's correlation analysis. The risk factors of CAS were evaluated by logistic multivariate regression analysis. The predictive value of UA, FIB, and Hcy for CAS was estimated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: UA, FIB, and Hcy were up-regulated in the Plaque group vs. other two groups. Serum UA, FIB, and Hcy were positively linked to cIMT and CAP, and were independent risk factors for CAS. The area under ROC curve of UA, FIB, Hcy levels and their combination for predicting CAS were 0.889, 0.855, 0.902, and 0.958, respectively. Hypertensive patients with high levels of UA, FIB, or Hcy were more likely to develop CAS. Conclusion: Serum UA, FIB, and Hcy are positively correlated with cIMT and CAP, and are independent risk factors for CAS in hypertensive patients. High UA, FIB and Hcy expression could assist in predicting CAS in patients with hypertension, and the combination of the three was more valuable than all three alone.
