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

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB) play key roles in the influx and efflux transport of endogenous substrates in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid. The organic anion transporter (OAT) 3 and organic cation transporter (OCT) 3, which belong to the solute carrier (SLC) 22A family, are expressed at the BBB and BCSFB, and regulate the excretion of endogenous and exogenous organic anions and cations. Our recent research provides novel molecular and functional evidence that indoxyl sulfate, an anionic uremic toxin, undergoes efflux transport at the BBB via OAT3 and creatinine, a uremic guanidino compound, undergoes efflux transport at the BCSFB via OCT3. Renal impairment is associated with the accumulation of uremic toxins in blood and uremic encephalopathy. It is conceivable that uremic encephalopathy is related to inhibition or dysfunction of efflux transport systems for uremic toxins in the brain. Here, we review the function of OAT3 and OCT3 at the BBB and BCSFB in the context of their roles in the progression of renal failure.
