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

ALDH16A1 is a novel member of the ALDH superfamily that is enzymatically-inactive and highly expressed in the kidney. Recent studies identified an association between a rare missense single nucleotide variant (SNV) in the ALDH16A1 gene and elevated serum uric acid levels and gout. The present study explores the mechanisms by which ALDH16A1 influences uric acid homeostasis in the kidney. We generated and validated a mouse line with global disruption of the Aldh16a1 gene through gene targeting and performed RNA-seq analyses in the kidney of wild-type (WT) and Aldh16a1 knockout (KO) mice, along with plasma metabolomics. We found that ALDH16A1 is expressed in proximal and distal convoluted tubule cells in the cortex of the kidney and in zone 3 hepatocytes. RNA-seq and gene ontology enrichment analyses showed that cellular lipid and lipid metabolic processes are up-regulated. Three transporters localized in the apical membrane of the proximal convoluted tubule of the kidney known to influence urate/uric acid homeostasis were found to be up-regulated (Abcc4, Slc16a9) or down-regulated (Slc17a3). An initial metabolomics analysis in plasma revealed an altered lipid profile in KO mice that is in agreement with our RNA-seq analysis. This is the first study demonstrating a functional role of ALDH16A1 in the kidney.
