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 aim of the current study was to determine the effects of α-lipoic acid (LA) on hyperuricemia and endothelial dysfunction, and to uncover the underlying mechanism of its action. A hyperuricemic rat model was established by administration of uric acid (UA) and the rats were orally fed with 2 g/kg/day LA or phosphate-buffered saline. Primary rat aortic endothelial cells were subsequently isolated, and a cell viability assay, apoptosis assay, enzyme nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity assay and mitochondrial function assay were all performed.
