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
Pterostilbene (PTS), a more bioavailable analog of resveratrol (RES), is a promising natural metabolic regulator for improving metabolic health. The metabolic regulatory benefits of RES are believed to be associated with SIRT1 activation. However, the direct activation of SIRT1 by RES was proven to be an in vitro artifact. Here, we demonstrate that PTS is a more potent metabolic regulator than RES. More significantly, we have identified estrogen receptor α (ERα) as the intermediate signaling mediating SIRT1 expression by both RES and PTS. First, RES and PTS function as ERα agonists to stimulate Sirt1 transcription. Second, RES and PTS act as stabilizers of ERα-SIRT1 interaction, blocking ubiquitination and thereby enhancing their protein stability. Third, RES and PTS promote ERα deacetylation, subsequently increasing ERα transactivation. Finally, skeletal muscle-specific ERα knockout attenuates the metabolic regulatory benefits of PTS. Together, our study demonstrates that PTS is a more potent metabolic regulator than RES by activating the ERα/SIRT1 signaling.
