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

backgroundThe association between the serum uric acid-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in Asian populations with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) remains insufficiently elucidated.

aimTo investigate the relevance and dose-responsive relationship between UHR and 10-year CVD risk among Asian MASLD patients.

methodsIn this retrospective analysis, 3901 MASLD patients were enrolled based on established screening criteria. As measured by the Framingham risk score, participants were stratified according to their 10-year CVD risk. The association between UHR and CVD risk was evaluated using binary logistic regression, while dose-response patterns were explored through restricted cubic spline (RCS) modeling. The discriminatory capability of UHR, in comparison with conventional biomarkers, was further examined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.

resultsMultivariable-adjusted analyses revealed that elevated UHR levels were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of intermediate-to-high CVD risk. RCS modeling demonstrated a linear dose-response relationship between UHR and the Framingham risk score (

conclusionUHR functioned as an independent predictor of 10-year CVD risk in Asian patients with MASLD, demonstrating a linear dose-response association and superior discriminative performance relative to conventional biomarkers, especially among younger individuals, males, and those with central obesity.
