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

The L-arginine derivative and uremic toxin symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) is an independent risk marker for total mortality and cardiovascular events. Interferences with L-arginine- or L-homoarginine-related signaling, metabolism, or transport have been proposed as underlying mechanisms. SDMA is endogenously formed and predominantly eliminated via the kidney. Whereas for L-arginine and other L-arginine derivatives such as L-homoarginine and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) key transport proteins involved in the cellular uptake and release have been characterized, comparable data for the transport of SDMA are lacking.Using HEK cell lines overexpressing the transport proteins OCT2, OATP4C1, MATE1, OAT4, and OAT10, which are all expressed in renal proximal tubule cells, and the ubiquitously-expressed transport protein CAT1 we performed uptake experiments demonstrating that SDMA is a substrate for CAT1, OATP4C1, OCT2, and MATE1 in physiological concentrations, but not of OAT4 and OAT10.
