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

Hyperuricemic nephropathy (HN) is a global metabolic disorder characterized by uric acid (UA) metabolism dysfunction, resulting in hyperuricemia (HUA) and tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIF). Sodium-dependent glucose transporter 2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin, has shown potential in reducing serum UA levels in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), though its protective effects against HN remain uncertain. This study investigates the functional, pathological, and molecular changes in HN through histological, biochemical, and transcriptomic analyses in patients, HN mice, and UA-stimulated HK-2 cells. Findings indicate UA-induced tubular dysfunction and fibrotic activation, which dapagliflozin significantly mitigates. Transcriptomic analysis identifies estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα), a downregulated transcription factor in HN. ERRα knockin mice and ERRα-overexpressed HK-2 cells demonstrate UA resistance, while ERRα inhibition exacerbates UA effects. Dapagliflozin targets ERRα, activating the ERRα-organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) axis to enhance UA excretion and reduce TIF. Furthermore, dapagliflozin ameliorates renal fibrosis in non-HN CKD models, underscoring the therapeutic significance of the ERRα-OAT1 axis in HN and CKD.
