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

Hyperuricemia is associated with liver dysfunction, yet its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated high uric acid (HUA)-induced hepatocyte injury using a hyperuricemia mouse model (HUM) and uric acid (UA)-treated L02 cells. HUM exhibited elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and pathological liver changes. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed ferroptotic hallmarks, including mitochondrial shrinkage and increased membrane density. UA exposure upregulated NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4), increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), and promoted lipid peroxidation (LPO), accompanied by intracellular Fe
