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

Objective: The serum uric acid-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) is considered an emerging indicator of inflammatory and metabolic disorders. The aim of this research is to assess the link between UHR and the susceptibility to type 2 diabetes among elderly people in Chinese communities. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. The participants were elderly non-diabetic individuals who underwent annual health check-ups in the Kunshan community, China, from January 2018 to December 2023. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was used to investigate the relationship between baseline UHR levels and the incidence of type 2 diabetes in the elderly population. Results: After a median follow-up of 3.88 years, 773 type 2 diabetes events were recorded among the 7525 elderly non-diabetic individuals. After adjustment for confounders, each 1-standard deviation (SD) increase in the UHR was associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes (HR = 1.156, 95% CI 1.069-1.250, Conclusion: In Chinese community-dwelling elderly individuals, baseline UHR levels are associated with the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Monitoring UHR levels might help predict and assess the risk of type 2 diabetes.
