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
Background/purpose: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a precancerous lesion in the oral cavity, commonly results from the Areca nut chewing habit. Arecoline, the main component of Areca nut, is known to stimulate the activation of myofibroblasts, which can lead to abnormal collagen I deposition. Meanwhile, Resveratrol is a non-flavonoid phenolic substance that can be naturally obtained from various berries and foods. Given that resveratrol has significant anti-fibrosis traits in other organs, but little is known about its effect on OSF, this study aimed to investigate the therapeutic impact of resveratrol on OSF and its underlying mechanism. Materials and methods: The cytotoxicity of resveratrol was tested using normal buccal mucosal fibroblasts (BMFs). Myofibroblast phenotypes such as collagen contractile, enhanced migration, and wound healing capacities in dose-dependently resveratrol-treated fBMFs were examined. Results: Current results showed that arecoline induced cell migration and contractile activity in BMFs as well as upregulated the expressions of α-SMA, type I collagen, and ZEB1 markers. Resveratrol intervention, on the other hand, was shown to inhibit arecoline-induced myofibroblast activation and reduce myofibroblast hallmarks and EMT markers. Additionally, resveratrol was also demonstrated to restore the downregulated miR-200a in the arecoline-stimulated cells. Conclusion: In a nutshell, these findings implicate that resveratrol may have an inhibitory influence on arecoline-induced fibrosis via the regulation of miR-200a. Hence, resveratrol may be used as a therapeutic strategy for OSF intervention.
