Resveratrol and Wine: An Overview of Thirty Years in the Digital News.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundResveratrol's health benefits have received wide media coverage. Since resveratrol is usually associated with wine, informative texts about it should be prepared very carefully, since inaccurate website content could easily change people's wine consumption behavior. This study aimed to assess the quality of informative texts related to resveratrol on science journalism websites.
methodsWe analyzed 125 resveratrol posts on Science Daily, WebMD, and EurekAlert! published between 1990 and 2020.
resultsA higher number of posts was published in the years in which the number of people looking for information on the internet also increased. The increase can also be related to David Sinclair's notoriety, a fact that we called the "Sinclair effect". Most of the posts are replications of universities' press releases, mainly reporting resveratrol's health benefits, which resulted from preclinical studies and cannot be translated to humans. Most of them mention wine in the text and some in the title.
conclusionsWine is usually mentioned in headline resveratrol news, which could potentially influence wine consumption behavior. Scientists must intensify their efforts to communicate with the public to increase people's health literacy. Online news portals should have science journalists skilled in exploring scientific data and their translation into a simple and accurate language.
