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

Objective: We investigated the efficacy and safety of dotinurad, a selective urate reabsorption inhibitor, in hyperuricemic patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) (stage G3-5). Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the cases of 34 patients (mean age, 68.6 ± 13.3 years; 17 men and 17 women) after 12 months of dotinurad treatment based on the changes in uric acid (UA) and the urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) plus the annual change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Hyperuricemia (UA ≥6.0 mg/dL) and advanced CKD (mean eGFR: 32.0 ± 13.3 mL/min/1.73m Results: UA values decreased significantly in the dotinurad group (7.1 ± 0.8 mg/dL to 5.9 ± 1.0 mg/dL, p<0.05) but those did not change in the control group. UPCR did not change in either group. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol also decreased significantly in the dotinurad group (98.8 ± 43.4 mg/dL to 82.9 ± 33.1 mg/dL, p<0.05). With the 12-month dotinurad treatment, the annual change in the patients' eGFR was significantly improved from -6.0 ± 12.9 mL/min/1.73 m Conclusion: Dotinurad can decrease UA levels and might attenuate renal function decline in individuals with hyperuricemia and advanced CKD.
