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

Resveratrol (Res), a natural phenolic compound, has been proven to have a wide variety of beneficial health effects. For example, resveratrol has neuroprotective effects in different central nervous system diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying resveratrol neuroprotection in spinal cord injury (SCI) remain unclear. In this study, we showed that resveratrol treatment improved the restoration of locomotor function, and decreased the degeneration of neurons in SCI mice, which was paralleled by a reduction of apoptosis. We further examined autophagy markers via western blot and immunofluorescence. Results showed that the beneficial effects of resveratrol were related to the promotion LC3II and beclin-1 expression. In addition, autophagy suppression with chloroquine (CQ) partially abolished apoptosis inhibition and locomotor functional improvement of Res on SCI, which indicated that the beneficial effect of resveratrol on SCI was through autophagy enhancement. In conclusion, these results illustrated that the neuroprotective effects of resveratrol in SCI are partially through autophagy stimulation, and implied that Res is a promising drug for SCI therapy.
