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

scopeIn this study, we aim to determine the effects of resveratrol (RSV) on muscle atrophy in streptozocin-induced diabetic mice and to explore mitochondrial quality control (MQC) as a possible mechanism. METHODS AND

resultsThe experimental mice were fed either a control diet or an identical diet containing 0.04% RSV for 8 weeks. Examinations were subsequently carried out, including the effects of RSV on muscle atrophy and muscle function, as well as on the signaling pathways related to protein degradation and MQC processes. The results show that RSV supplementation improves muscle atrophy and muscle function, attenuates the increase in ubiquitin and muscle RING-finger protein-1 (MuRF-1), and simultaneously attenuates LC3-II and cleaved caspase-3 in the skeletal muscle of diabetic mice. Moreover, RSV treatment of diabetic mice results in an increase in mitochondrial biogenesis and inhibition of the activation of mitophagy in skeletal muscle. RSV also protects skeletal muscle against excess mitochondrial fusion and fission in the diabetic mice.

conclusionThe results suggest that RSV ameliorates diabetes-induced skeletal muscle atrophy by modulating MQC.
