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

backgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) has detrimental effects on health through multiple pathophysiological mechanisms, significantly reducing life expectancy and contributing to a substantial disease burden. Therefore, this study aims to explore the association of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and hyperuricemia (HUA) with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

methodsOverall, 28,278 patients with CKD, defined by estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m

resultsDuring a median follow-up of 13.21 years, 3564 all-cause deaths (17.28%) were recorded, including 1025 (4.97%) attributable to cardiovascular causes. After multiple adjustments, both HUA and MetS were strongly associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Patients with CKD and coexisting HUA or MetS exhibited a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 1.45, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.30-1.62) and cardiovascular mortality (aHR = 2.09, 95% CI: 1.70-2.58) than those without HUA or MetS. Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrated that elevated uric acid levels and a high number of MetS components significantly reduced survival probability (P < 0.001), with an increasing trend as the uric acid levels and the number of MetS components increased. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness and consistency of our findings.

conclusionMetS and HUA significantly increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with CKD, particularly in those with high uric acid levels and a high number of MetS components. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
