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

backgroundTo evaluate the efficacy and pharmacological mechanisms of resveratrol in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients.

methodsWe conducted a thorough exploration of existing randomized controlled trials concerning the treatment of Alzheimer's disease patients using resveratrol, utilizing accessible open databases. Quantitative variables were represented as a standardized mean difference (SMD), accompanied by a 95% confidence interval (CI). Additionally, we examined the potential targets and plausible pathways associated with the impact of resveratrol on Alzheimer's disease using network pharmacology techniques.

resultsOur meta-analysis comprised five trials involving 271 AD patients, of whom 139 received resveratrol treatment and 132 received placebo treatment. Compared with placebo therapy, resveratrol treatment resulted in a significant improvement in Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study- Activities of Daily Living (ADAS-ADL) scores (SMD=0.51; 95% CI, 0.24 to 0.78) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Aβ40 (SMD=0.84; 95% CI, 0.21 to 1.47) and plasma Aβ40 levels (SMD=0.43; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.79). However, the improvement in the resveratrol-treated group compared with the placebo treatment group on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, CSF Aβ42 and plasma Aβ42 levels, and brain volume was not significant. There were no noteworthy statistical variances in the occurrence of adverse effects noted between the two groups. The outcomes of network pharmacology divulged that the principal enriched interaction pathway between resveratrol and Alzheimer's disease is primarily concentrated within the PI3K signaling pathways. Resveratrol's potential key targets for the treatment of AD include MAKP1, HRAS, EGFR, and MAPK2K1.

conclusionWhile having a high safety profile, resveratrol has efficacy in AD patients to a certain extent, and more data are required to validate the efficacy of resveratrol for the treatment of AD in the future. Suppression of the PI3K signaling pathways could hold significant importance in the treatment of AD patients using resveratrol.
