Review in Biomarkers in medicine, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 63 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

A growing number of studies have correlated higher urate levels with a lower risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD) and with a favorable rate of disease progression, indicating that urate could be an important biomarker of the pathophysiology underlying PD. Dietary and genetic determinants of urate have also been linked to a reduced risk or delayed onset of PD. Based on the known antioxidant and metal complexing properties of urate, together with evidence for oxidative stress as a contributor to neurodegeneration in PD, urate may serve as an endogenous neuroprotectant that helps reduce the risk and rate of the disease. In this article we review the convergent biological, epidemiological and clinical data that identify urate as a promising biomarker of the risk, diagnosis and prognosis of PD.
