The role of the gut microbiota-uric acid metabolism axis in high-altitude hyperuricemia: dysregulation mechanisms, pathway associations and therapeutic perspectives.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
High-altitude areas (≥2500 m) are characterized by low oxygen concentrations, which leads more people affected by high uronic acid in the blood. This review systematically investigates the "gut microbiota-uric acid metabolism axis" as a potential target for inhibiting Hyperuricemia (HUA). This review introduces the four functions of the axis: direct reduction of uric acid, intestinal excretion, regulation of uricase expression, and the intestinal-renal axis signal; then investigates how hypoxia alters all of these paths. In addition, this review illustrates how this axis is related to the classical metabolic pathway of purine synthesis, renal excretion, lactate metabolism, inflammatory-oxidative stress and genetic susceptibility. Adaptation difference: Native highlanders and migrants show different degrees of adjustment to life in the mountains, and migrants are relatively more prone to axis dysfunction. Finally, this review introduces targeted intervention strategies, such as probiotics, prebiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation, and their combination with uric acid-lowering or anti-inflammatory drugs, and put forward a population-stratified precision intervention framework. Overall, this paper provides a theoretical foundation and novel direction for understanding and preventing plateau HUA.
