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

purposeOsteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating disease of joints. Currently, there are no optimal treatment options to cure OA.

objectiveTo determine whether resveratrol treatment can improve physical function in knee OA patients. Trial design This investigation employed a single center-based, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-regulated clinical trial structure.

methodsWe led a 12-week clinical study involving 137 knee OA patients, aged 63-73. Participants were divided to form a placebo-taking group (n = 70) and an intervention group receiving 500 mg/day of resveratrol (n = 67). Data collection occurred at the start and after 12 weeks. Key study outcomes included: pain intensity (VAS), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), WOMAC index score, knee flexion range of motion (ROM), short physical performance battery (SPPB), handgrip strength (HGS), gait velocity, and levels of SIRT1, C-reactive protein (CRP), and 8-isoprostanes.

resultsAfter accounting for dropouts, 122 patients were analyzed (placebo: n = 65, resveratrol: n = 57). Resveratrol treatment significantly reduced pain intensity and WOMAC scores, while increasing OKS scores, ROM, gait velocity, HGS, and overall SPPB performance (p < 0.05). In addition, OA patients on resveratrol showed higher plasma SIRT1 and lower 8-isoprostanes levels (p < 0.05). The correlation analysis demonstrated robust associations between changes in plasma SIRT1 and improvements in OKS scores (r

conclusionOverall, resveratrol supplementation enhances the physical capabilities of OA patients by increasing SIRT1 levels. Further research is warranted to more fully define resveratrol's impact on knee OA.
