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

backgroundMitochondrial dysfunction is linked to hyperuricemia (HUA), but its genetic pathophysiology is not yet fully understood. We employed Mendelian randomization (MR) to integrate multi-omics data and explore the associations between mitochondrial-related genes and HUA.

methodsWe conducted a summary data-based MR analysis to investigate potential targets associated with HUA by integrating mitochondrial-related DNA methylation, gene expression, and protein quantitative trait loci. Additionally, to further explore the potential associations between DNA methylation, gene expression, and protein abundance, we performed MR and co-localization analyses to examine causal relationships between candidate gene methylation and expression, as well as between gene expression and protein abundance.

resultThrough the integration of multi-omics evidence, we identified one primary gene, NUDT2, and three secondary genes, BOLA1, COMT, and HAGH. At the protein level, NUDT2 and COMT are negatively correlated with HUA risk, whereas BOLA1 and HAGH are positively correlated with HUA risk. Our analysis revealed a positive correlation between the methylation of cg06605933 in BOLA1 and its protein levels, which aligns with the negative effect of cg06605933 methylation on HUA risk. Additionally, we observed a positive correlation between NUDT2 gene expression and protein levels, confirming its beneficial effect on HUA risk. Strong co-localization support was found between the methylation of cg06605933 (PPH4 = 85.1%) in BOLA1 and protein abundance, as well as between NUDT2 gene expression (PPH4 = 96.6%) and protein levels.

conclusionOur study identified mitochondrial genes NUDT2, BOLA1, COMT, and HAGH as potentially associated with HUA risk, supported by evidence from various omics levels.
