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

Background: The uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR), a composite biomarker integrating pro-inflammatory stress and vascular protection loss, has been linked to diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in cross-sectional studies, but longitudinal evidence on its association with continuous eGFR decline remains limited. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 8,827 community-managed type 2 diabetes patients from 54 health centers in Shenzhen, China, followed for 3 years (2023-2025). Baseline UHR was calculated as serum uric acid (μmol/L) divided by HDL-C (mmol/L). The primary outcome was annual eGFR slope, derived from individual linear regressions. Multivariable linear regression, restricted cubic spline analysis, model comparison, and pre-specified subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed. Results: In fully adjusted models, each 1-unit increase in baseline UHR was associated with greater annual eGFR decline ( Conclusion: Higher baseline UHR independently predicted faster eGFR decline in community-managed type 2 diabetes patients. As an inexpensive, readily available index, UHR may serve as a biomarker for identifying patients at elevated risk of progressive renal function loss.
