Preventative effects of resveratrol and estradiol on streptozotocin-induced diabetes in ovariectomized mice and the related mechanisms.
Article in PloS one, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Resveratrol, a non-flavonoid polyphenolic compound, is structurally and functionally similar to estrogen and has drawn great attention for its potentially beneficial effects on diabetes. However, it is not known whether it shares the same protective effect against diabetes as estrogen and the underlying mechanisms. The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effects of phytoestrogen resveratrol and exogenous 17β-estradiol against streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes. Female mice were ovariectomized (OVX) and chronically injected with different concentrations of resveratrol (0.1, 1 or 10 mg/kg) and 17β-estradiol (0.01, 0.1 or 1 mg/kg) subcutaneously for 4 weeks, and the levels of blood glucose, plasma insulin, plasma antioxidant capacity, the changes of pancreatic islet cells and the expressions of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) and phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK) were detected. Resveratrol and 17β-estradiol significantly inhibited the increase of the blood glucose level and the rise of plasma malondialdehyde in STZ-induced diabetic mice, improved the levels of plasma antioxidant capacity and plasma insulin, protected the pancreatic islet cells, and increased the expressions of GLUT4 and IRS-1, but decreased p-ERK expression in skeletal muscle and myocardial tissue. The results suggest that resveratrol or 17β-estradiol shows obvious protection against STZ-induced diabetes in OVX mice, the mechanisms probably involve their ameliorating antioxidant activities and islet function, promoting muscle glucose uptake and inhibiting the expression of p-ERK.
