Resveratrol Ameliorates Diabetes-induced Renal Damage through Regulating the Expression of TGF-β1, Collagen IV and Th17/Treg-related Cytokines in Rats.
Article in The West Indian medical journal, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThis study aimed at detecting the protective effects of resveratrol on diabetes-induced renal damage and on the expression of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1), collagen IV and Th17/Tregrelated cytokines in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
methodsTwenty diabetic rats were further randomly divided into diabetic model group (DM group) and resveratrol group with 10 animals in each group. Another 1- non-diabetic rats served as control. The diabetic rats in the resveratrol group were administered resveratrol for eight consecutive weeks (via gavage, 50 mg/kg daily, dissolved in saline). Rats in the control group and DM group received the same volume of saline only (via gavage). Renal function was measured. Histopathology changes of the kidney tissue were observed using haematoxylin and eosin staining. Levels of TGF-β1 and collagen IV in kidney homogenate were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The level of Th17-related cytokines (IL-17A, IL-25) and Treg-related cytokines (IL-35, IL-10) in serum and in the supernatant of the kidney homogenate were determined using ELISA.
resultsDiabetic rats had damaged renal function, higher levels of TGF-β1, collagen IV, IL-17A and IL-25, as well as lower levels of IL-35 and IL-10, when compared to the control rats. Compared to the diabetic rats without resveratrol treatment, application of resveratrol to the diabetic rats ameliorated the renal function, inhibited the expression of TGF-β1, collagen IV, IL-17A and IL-25, and increased the expression IL-35 and IL-10.
conclusionResveratrol might ameliorate diabetes-induced renal damage through mediating the balance of Th17/Treg-related cytokines and inhibiting the expression of TGF-β1 and collagen IV.
