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
The involvement of complement activation in various forms of cardiovascular disease renders it an important factor for disease progression and therapeutic intervention. The protective effect of resveratrol against cardiovascular disease via moderate red wine consumption has been established but the exact mechanisms are still under investigation. The current study utilised human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) in order to assess the extent to which the protective effect of resveratrol, at concentrations present in red wine, can be attributed to the upregulation of complement regulatory proteins through heme-oxygenase (HO)-1 induction. Resveratrol at concentrations as low as 0.001 μΜ increased HO-1 expression as well as membrane cofactor protein (MCP, CD46) and decay-accelerating factor (DAF, CD55) expression with no-effect on CD59. Silencing of HO-1 expression by HO-1 siRNAs abrogated both DAF and MCP protein expression with no effect on CD59. Resveratrol-mediated induction of DAF and MCP reduced C3b deposition following incubation of HCAECs with 10% normal human serum or normal rat serum as a source of complement. Incubation of HCAECs, with either a DAF blocking antibody or following transfection with HO-1 siRNAs, in the presence of 10% normal rat serum increased C3b deposition, indicating that both DAF and HO-1 are required for C3b reduction. These observations support a novel mechanism for the protective effect of resveratrol against cardiovascular disease and confirm the important role of HO-1 in the regulation of the complement cascade.
