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

backgroundHyperuricemia is associated with higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. However, the role of social determinants of health (SDoH) in this context remains unclear. This study aims to examine the relationship between SDoH, hyperuricemia, all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, and explore the mediating role of SDoH in these relationships.

methodsThis cohort study analyzed data from 23,919 US adults (aged ≥ 20) in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007 to 2016, with linked mortality data through December 31, 2019. Two primary exposures were examined: hyperuricemia, defined as serum uric acid level > 420 µmol/L in males and > 360 µmol/L in females, and SDoH, which encompassed education level, marital status, income-to-poverty ratio (PIR), food security, health insurance, regular health-care access, housing instability, and employment. The primary outcomes were all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Statistical methods included logistic regression, Cox proportional hazard model, and mediation analysis.

resultsThe study cohort had a mean (SD) age of 49.27 (17.63) years, with 48.28% (95%Cl, 47.69%-48.86%) being male, and 68.52% (95%Cl, 65.27%-71.60%) identified as non-Hispanic White. Having three or more unfavorable SDoH significantly mediated the link between hyperuricemia and both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. SDoH ≥ 6, SDoH = 5, SDoH = 4, and SDoH = 3 mediated 20.30% (P = 0.004), 13.94% (P = 0.044), 23.59% (P = 0.018), and 13.88% (P = 0.008) of the association between hyperuricemia and all-cause mortality, respectively. SDoH ≥ 6, SDoH = 5, SDoH = 4, and SDoH = 3 mediated 15.35% (P = 0.006), 14.87% (P = 0.050), 20.68% (P = 0.026), and 9.45% (P = 0.012) of the association between hyperuricemia and cardiovascular mortality.

conclusionsSDoH significantly mediated the relationship between hyperuricemia and both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
