An Updated Narrative Review on the Therapeutic Potential of Resveratrol in the Treatment of Cancer.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Cancer is a significant global health challenge, affecting millions of people every year. Overall survival rates have improved over time, but some patients exhibit treatment resistance, prompting ongoing research to find suitable and effective sensitizers. Resveratrol, a natural polyphenolic compound, has demonstrated significant effects in inhibiting the growth and spread of cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms and applications of resveratrol remain unclear. Objective: In this updated narrative review, we aimed at discussing the role and related molecular mechanisms of resveratrol in various cancers and providing an overview of its therapeutic potential for the treatment and prevention of these cancers. Methodology: We conducted an extensive literature search across four major databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect, to identify all relevant articles. Result: Resveratrol is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound, specifically a stilbene, found in significant quantities in grapes, berries, peanuts, and various other plants. Resveratrol significantly contributes to the reduction of various human cancers, including those of the breast, cervix, thyroid, prostate, brain, skin, colon, bone, and ovarian cancers. Resveratrol has been shown to influence cell cycle arrest, activate apoptosis, and suppress metastasis, all of which are achieved through various signaling pathways. Additionally, several in vivo studies have shown promising results suggesting it may reduce tumor development and extend lifespan in animal cancer models, among other benefits. Conclusion: This review indicates that resveratrol could serve as a prototype for developing more efficacious and less toxic therapeutic agents for the treatment of various cancers.
