Renal handling of uric acid assessed by means of pharmacological tests in obese women.
Article in Diabetes, nutrition & metabolism, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00941382 (Double-blind, Randomized Clinical Trial to Evaluate Effect of Combination Therapy of Metformin and Sibutramine Versus Metformin or Sibutramine Monotherapy Over Weight, Adiposity, Glucose Metabolism and Inflammatory State in Obese Patients), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the renal handling of uric acid by means of pyrazinamide and probenecid tests between obese and non-obese women. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 8 obese women and in 8 non-obese women as control group. Metabolic profile and renal handling of uric acid including clearance, fractional excretion and excretion rates, were assessed. Due to technical problems, pyrazinamide and probenecid tests were performed only in 5 women of each group to evaluate presecretory reabsorption, secretion and post-secretory reabsorption of uric acid. Uric acid clearance had a tendency to be lower in the obese women than in the control group. There were no significant differences between the groups in fractional excretion and excretion uric acid rates. Pre- and post-secretory reabsorptions of uric acid did not differ between the obese and the non-obese women. Tubular secretion of uric acid was significantly lower in the obese women compared with the control group (6.4 vs 13.6%; p=0.02). Tubular secretion of uric acid negatively correlated with body mass index (r=-0.73; p<0.05). In conclusion, tubular secretion of uric acid possibly plays an important role in uric acid homeostasis in obese women.
