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

Hyperuricemia is frequently observed in patients with chronic kidney disease and is recognized as a significant contributor to the progression of renal dysfunction. On the other hand, hypouricemia, although less thoroughly studied, has been implicated in exercise-induced acute kidney injury and urolithiasis. Uric acid (UA), the final product of purine metabolism, is predominantly synthesized in the liver and excreted through both renal and intestinal pathways. The metabolism and excretion of UA are intricately linked to kidney function, underscoring their clinical significance in the context of renal disease. This review provides a comprehensive overview of UA metabolism and the key urate transporters, including URAT1, GLUT9, OATs, and ABCG2, which play pivotal roles in maintaining UA homeostasis. Additionally, this review discusses the genetic and environmental factors that influence UA regulation, with a particular focus on the pathological consequences of transporter dysfunction. By elucidating the mechanisms underlying UA handling in the renal and intestinal systems, this review aims to enhance our understanding of UA-related pathophysiology, and to inform the development of targeted therapeutic strategies for modulating UA transport.
