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

purpose of reviewIn this review, we report on new findings regarding associations of uric acid with kidney health. We discuss kidney stones, effects of uric acid in chronic kidney disease (CKD), and management of gout in CKD. Recent studies on neuroprotective effects of raising uric acid provide interesting data regarding nephrolithiasis. RECENT

findingsElevated urate levels have been implicated in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), but the results from PERL and CKD-FIX studies did not demonstrate that allopurinol slowed CKD progression. The SURE-PD3 sought to determine if increasing uric acid would slow the progression of Parkinson's disease. Results ultimately did not support this hypothesis, but high urinary uric acid levels caused uric acid stones, not calcium stones. Low urinary pH remains the key to the formation of uric acid stones. Thiazolidinediones improve insulin resistance, which is associated with an increase in urine pH. The most recent research has not supported the hypothesis that lowering serum uric acid levels will slow the progression of CKD or provide neuroprotection in Parkinson's disease. It is still unclear as to why uric acid stone formers have a high net acid excretion. The STOP-GOUT trial demonstrates that there was a lack of significant adverse events with higher urate-lowering dosages of allopurinol and febuxostat, despite patients' kidney function. This may push other studies to administer higher dosages per ACR guidelines. Future studies could then demonstrate decreased progression of CKD.
