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

backgroundHyperuricemia is one of the important risk factors for gout, arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Lactobacillus has attracted much attention due to its role in the regulation of intestinal function and tumor resistance, but its ability to reduce uric acid is unclear. Pickles are a traditional fermented food rich in lactic acid bacteria (LAB).

resultsLAB strains were isolated from 18 pickles and their tolerance to acid bile salts, trypsin, pepsin were evaluated after screening by nucleoside degradation. 16S rDNA sequence analysis was used to identify LAB strains. Furthermore, we established rat model of hyperuricemia and demonstrated that Lactobacillus could alleviate hyperuricemia and reduce kidney injury.

conclusionThis study suggests that microecological treatment with Lactobacillus represents a feasible option for patients with chronic hyperuricemia.
