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

Introduction: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk profiles vary among populations. In Japan, a prediction model for the 10-year estimate of ASCVD risk, integrating coronary artery disease and atherothrombotic cerebral infarct risk assessments, has been developed based on the Hisayama Study. While hyperuricemia can promote atherosclerosis, serum uric acid levels are not included as a risk factor in the 10-year ASCVD prediction model. Methods: We investigated the association between serum uric acid levels and 10-year ASCVD risk in 5,984 Japanese adults (3,285 males, 2,699 females) aged 40-79 years who underwent health check-ups between 2020 and 2022. The 10-year ASCVD risk scores were calculated using the aforementioned prediction model. Results: Participants in the lowest quartile of serum uric acid levels (3.8 ± 0.6 mg/dL) had a mean 10-year ASCVD risk of 2.1 ± 3.2%, while those in the highest quartile (7.2 ± 0.7 mg/dL) had a mean risk of 4.3 ± 4.6% (p < 0.001). A significant positive correlation was observed between serum uric acid levels and 10-year ASCVD risk scores (r = 0.34, p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis also revealed that serum uric acid levels remained an independent predictor of 10-year ASCVD risk after adjusting for other risk factors (β = 0.02, p < 0.001). Conclusions: This study indicates that serum uric acid levels may serve as a useful marker for ASCVD risk assessment, particularly in the Japanese population.
