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

Introduction: Maintaining polyamines homeostasis is essential for cardiovascular health, whereas elevated uric acid levels are recognized as a significant risk factor for the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases. However, the interaction between uric acid and the regulation of polyamine homeostasis has not been extensively investigated. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of uric acid on cardiac polyamines regulation and elucidate the role of polyamines in uric acid induced cardiomyocytic injury. Methods: The Results: Uric acid treatment can alter ornithine metabolism in cardiomyocytes, revealed a potential of shifting it from the traditional ornithine cycle towards the polyamine cycle. Both ODC1 and SAT1 protein levels were up-regulated in hyperuricemic mice indicated a dysorder of polyamines homostasis. A downregulation tendency of spermidine and spermine levels were observed in cardiomyocytes under uric acid treatment. Notably, exogenous supplementation with spermidine or spermine effectively mitigated the uric acid-induced decline in cardiomyocyte viability and mitochondrial membrane potential. Discussion: Uric acid disrupts polyamine homeostasis, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiomyocyte damage. Exogenous polyamine supplementation demonstrates therapeutic potential by preserving mitochondrial integrity. These findings unveil a potential mechanism underlying uric acid-induced cardiac injury and propose polyamine replenishment as a viable intervention strategy for hyperuricemia-related cardiovascular complications.
