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

objectivesThe prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a composite indicator reflecting nutritional and immune status; however, its association with incident hyperuricemia (HUA) remains unclear. This large-scale retrospective cohort study aims to investigate the relationship between PNI and the risk of developing HUA, providing evidence for early screening and nutritional intervention strategies.

methodsA total of 22 551 individuals who underwent baseline health examinations in 2012 were included. Participants were categorized into quartiles according to PNI levels (Q1, <52.4; Q2, 52.4-<55.1; Q3, 55.1-<57.9; Q4, ≥57.9). Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the association between PNI and incident HUA, with progressive adjustment for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and renal function. Using Q1 as the reference group, hazard ratios (

resultsThe numbers of participants in Q1-Q4 were 5 468, 5 658, 5 680, and 5 745, respectively. During a median follow-up of 10.5 years, 5 247 incident HUA cases were identified. In the fully adjusted model, participants in Q4 had an 18.4% higher risk of HUA compared with Q1 [

conclusionsElevated PNI (≥57.9) is an independent risk factor for incident HUA in a general health examination population, and this association is significantly modified by hypertension status. As a readily available composite marker, PNI may facilitate early identification of individuals at high risk for HUA and support personalized screening and intervention strategies.
