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

Urate homeostasis in humans is a complex and highly heritable process that involves i.e., metabolic urate biosynthesis, renal urate reabsorption, as well as renal and extrarenal urate excretion. Importantly, disturbances in urate excretion are a common cause of hyperuricemia and gout. The majority of urate is eliminated by glomerular filtration in the kidney followed by an, as yet, not fully elucidated interplay of multiple transporters involved in the reabsorption or excretion of urate in the succeeding segments of the nephron. In this context, genome-wide association studies and subsequent functional analyses have identified the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter ABCG2 as an important urate transporter and have highlighted the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the pathogenesis of reduced cellular urate efflux, hyperuricemia, and early-onset gout. Recent publications also suggest that ABCG2 is particularly involved in intestinal urate elimination and thus may represent an interesting new target for pharmacotherapeutic intervention in hyperuricemia and gout. In this review, we specifically address the involvement of ABCG2 in renal and extrarenal urate elimination. In addition, we will shed light on newly identified polymorphisms in ABCG2 associated with early-onset gout.
