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

Infertility is a common complication in diabetic men, mainly due to the loss of germ cells by apoptotic cell death. However, effective and safe approaches to prevent diabetic induction of testicular apoptosis for diabetic patients have not been available. Resveratrol (RSV), a group of compounds called polyphenols from plants, has been indicated its promising used clinically for cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the present study aimed determining whether RSV attenuates type 1 diabetes (T1D)-induced testicular apoptotic cell death in a mouse model. We found that testicular apoptosis and oxidative stress levels were significantly higher in T1D mice than control mice. In addition, the phosphorylation level of metabolism-related Akt and GSK-3β was downregulated and Akt negative regulators PTEN, PTP1B and TRB3 were upregulated in the T1D group. These effects were partially prevented by RSV treatment. Nrf2 and its downstream genes, such as NQO-1, HO-1, SOD, catalase and metallothionein were significantly upregulated by RSV treatment. In addition, RSV-induced Nrf2 activation was found due to Keap1 degradation, mainly reliant on p62 that functions as an adaptor protein during autophagy. These results indicate that the attenuation of T1D-induced testicular oxidative stress and apoptosis by RSV treatment was mainly related to Akt-mediated Nrf2 activation via p62-dependent Keap1 degradation.
