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

Uric acid (UA) has been proposed as an important risk factor for cardiovascular and renal morbidity. We conducted an interventional trial to assess effects of altered salt intake on plasma and urine UA levels and the relationship between UA levels and salt sensitivity in humans. Ninety subjects (18-65 years old) were sequentially maintained on a normal diet for 3 days at baseline, a low-salt diet for 7 days (3.0 g/day, NaCl), and a high-salt diet for an additional 7 days (18.0 g/day of NaCl). Plasma UA levels significantly increased from baseline to low-salt diet and decreased from low-salt to high-salt diet. By contrast, daily urinary levels of UA significantly decreased from baseline to low-salt diet and increased from low-salt to high-salt diet. The 24 h urinary sodium excretions showed inverse correlation with plasma UA and positive correlation with urinary UA excretions. Additionally, salt-sensitive subjects presented significantly higher plasma UA changes in comparison to salt-resistant subjects, and a negative correlation was observed between degree of salt sensitivity and plasma UA difference. The present study indicates that variations in dietary salt intake affect plasma and urine UA levels, and plasma UA may be involved in pathophysiological process of salt sensitivity.
