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

Obesity and related pathologies such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome are associated with chronic inflammation and cancer. The serum level of xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is correlated to obesity-associated metabolic disorders. XOR can play a role in the pathogenesis of both metabolic syndrome and cancer through the inflammatory response and the oxidative stress elicited by the products of its activity. The reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and the uric acid derived from XOR concur to the development of hypertension, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance and participate in both cell transformation and proliferation, as well as in the progression and metastasis process. Despite the availability of different drugs to inhibit in vivo XOR activity, the complexity of XOR inhibition effects should be carefully considered before clinical application, save in the case of symptomatic hyperuricemia.
