1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 is a naturally occurring phenolic compound found in various foods such as red wine, chocolate, peanuts, and blueberries. Both in-vitro and in-vivo studies have shown that it has a broad spectrum of pharmacological effects such as providing cellular protection and promoting longevity. These effects include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anti-viral properties, as well as improvements in cardio-metabolic health and anti-aging benefits. Additionally, resveratrol has demonstrated the ability to induce cell death and inhibit tumor growth across different types and stages of cancer. However, the dual effects of resveratrol-acting to support cell survival in some contexts, while inducing cell death in others-is still not fully understood. In this study, we identify a novel target for resveratrol: the voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1), a multi-functional outer mitochondrial membrane protein that plays a key role in regulating both cell survival and death. Our findings show that resveratrol increased VDAC1 expression levels and promoted its oligomerization, leading to apoptotic cell death. Additionally, resveratrol elevated intracellular Ca
