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

We investigated the effect of resveratrol on endothelial and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (eNOS and nNOS) expression in the corpus cavernosum from chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-exposed rats in order to examine possible role of proinflammatory cytokines, which might play a role on erectile dysfunction (ED). Rats were randomly and equally divided into four groups such as control, control+resveratrol, CUMS and CUMS + resveratrol (20 mg/kg/day, i.p/8 weeks). Sucrose intake and forced swimming tests were used to evaluate depressive-like behaviors. nNOS, eNOS expressions, inflammatory markers, corticosterone and testosterone levels were analyzed either in blood samples and/or penile tissues. CUMS-exposed rats displayed depressive-like behaviors, reduced penile nNOS and eNOS expressions, and serum testosterone levels and enhanced serum and penile tissue levels of proinflammatory markers compared to controls. Resveratrol reversed depressive-like behaviors and suppressed serum and penile levels of proinflammatory markers, increased nNOS and eNOS expressions and testosterone levels in CUMS-exposed rats. Resveratrol exerted antidepressant-like effects and protected the development of CUMS-induced impairment of cavernosal eNOS and nNOS expressions associated with ED, which might be related to its anti-inflammatory action.
