Resveratrol, an Inhibitor Binding to VEGF, Restores the Pathology of Abnormal Angiogenesis in Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) in Mice: Application by Intravitreal and Topical Instillation.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a severe eye disease leading to blindness. Abnormal vessel formation is the pathological hallmark of neovascular ROP. In forming vessels, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important stimulator. The current anti-ROP therapy has focused on bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody against VEGF, and pazopanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor on the VEGF receptor (VEGFR). Several lines of evidence have proposed that natural compounds may be more effective and safer for anti-VEGF function. Resveratrol, a common natural compound, binds to VEGF and blocks its interaction with VEGFR, thereafter suppressing angiogenesis. Here, we evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal injection, or topical instillation (eye drops), of resveratrol into the eyes of mice suffering from oxygen-induced retinopathy, i.e., developing ROP. The treatment of resveratrol significantly relieved the degree of vascular distortion, permeability and hyperplasia; the efficacy could be revealed by both methods of resveratrol application. In parallel, the treatments of resveratrol inhibited the retinal expressions of VEGF, VEGFR and CD31. Moreover, the applied resveratrol significantly relieved the damage caused by oxygen radicals through upregulating the level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and downregulating the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the retina. Taken together, the potential therapeutic benefit of resveratrol in pro-angiogenic diseases, including retinopathy, can be considered.
