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 (HUA) is a prevalent metabolic disorder driven by dysregulated purine metabolism and impaired urate excretion, and robust animal models are critical for elucidating its pathophysiology and guiding therapy development. This review systematically examines chemically induced, gene-edited, environmental, exercise and microbiota-based HUA models across rodents, poultry, primates, zebrafish and silkworms, highlighting each model's strengths and limitations in mimicking human uric acid handling. We discuss how these models have validated standard urate-lowering treatments-such as xanthine oxidase inhibitors and uricosurics-and uncovered emerging therapeutic targets, including the gut-NLRP3 inflammasome axis and SIRT1-mediated ABCG2 regulation. Finally, we propose a unified three-tier framework encompassing biochemical, mechanistic and pathological criteria to standardize model evaluation and accelerate translational research in hyperuricemia.
