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

Although allopurinol has been available for approximately 50 years, hyperuricemia and its sequelae are not only prevalent, but the incidence and costs associated with this disorder continue to increase. However, several new therapies have been developed. Recombinant urate oxidase has been useful in the treatment of tumor lysis hyperuricemia, and pegylated urate oxidase shows promise in patients with hyperuricemia and gout. Febuxostat and Y-700 are new oral xanthine oxidase inhibitors that are in human clinical trials. Tailoring of antilipid therapy in selected hyperuricemic and hyperlipidemic patients with fenofibrate may be of benefit in lowering blood cholesterol and uric acid levels. Similarly, treatment of selected hyperuricemic patients who also are hypertensive with losartan or amlodipine may be beneficial in lowering blood pressure and hyperuricemia. Despite these advances, new treatments for hyperuricemia are needed.
