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

unlabelledThe purpose of this work was to investigate if in adolescents with hyperuricemia serum levels of asymmetric and symmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA, SDMA) are increased and if their levels correlate with serum uric acid (UA). PATIENTS AND

methodsThe study group consisted of 58 hyperuricemic patients aged median 16.15 Q1-Q3 (14-17). The reference group contained 27 healthy individuals with normal serum UA level. ADMA and SDMA were measured by immunoenzymatic ELISA commercial kits and expressed in μ mol/L. Serum UA was measured by the colorimetric method.

resultsIn hyperuricemic patients serum ADMA values did not differ between two estimated groups (P > 0.05); however, SDMA was significantly higher than in reference group (P < 0.01). Serum ADMA and SDMA correlated positively with UA (r = 0.34, P < 0.01) (r = 0.31, P < 0.01) and hs-CRP (r = 0.20, P < 0.05) (r = 0.36, P < 0.01), respectively.

conclusionWe demonstrated increased SDMA but not ADMA levels in adolescents with hyperuricemia and their correlation with serum uric acid levels. However, at the moment it is difficult to answer the question if it is just coexistence of these factors or any mechanism linking uric acid and methylated arginines really exists.
