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

Humans have higher serum uric acid levels than other mammalian species owing to the genetic silencing of the hepatic enzyme uricase that metabolizes uric acid into allantoin. Urate (the ionized form of uric acid) is generated from purine metabolism and it may provide antioxidant defense in the human body. Despite its potential advantage, sustained hyperuricemia has pathogenetic causes in gout and renal diseases, and putative roles in hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Since the kidney plays a dominant role in maintaining plasma urate levels through the excretion process, it is important to understand the molecular mechanism of renal urate handling. Although the molecular identification of a kidney-specific urate/anion exchanger URAT1 in 2002 paved the way for successive identification of several urate transport-related proteins, the entire picture of effective renal urate handling in humans has not yet been clarified. Recently, several genome-wide association studies identified a substantial association between uric acid concentration and single nucleotide polymorphisms in at least ten genetic loci including eight transporter-coding genes. In 2008, we functionally characterized the facilitatory glucose transporter family member SLC2A9 (GLUT9), one of the candidate genes for urate handling, as a voltage-driven urate transporter URATv1 at the basolateral side of renal proximal tubules that comprises the main route of the urate reabsorption pathway, in tandem with URAT1 at the apical side. In this review, recent findings concerning these candidate molecules are presented.
