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

backgroundResveratrol (RSV) is used for the treatment of various diseases due to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, its beneficial aspects on viral hepatitis have been less investigated.

objectiveThis report reviews the impact of resveratrol on viral hepatitis and chronic viral hepatitis-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

methodsThe systematic review was performed and reported according to the PRISMA 2020 statement. Several core databases, such as Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Scopus, were used for search on September 6, 2023. After extraction of the data, the desired information of the full text of the studies was recorded in Excel, and the outcomes and mechanisms were reviewed.

resultsRSV inhibits viral replication through anti-HCV NS3 helicase activity, maintains redox homeostasis via glutathione (GSH) synthesis, improves T and B cell activity, and suppresses miR-155 expression. It also enhances viral replication by enhancing hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA transcription, activating sirtuin-1 (SIRT1), which can increase peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), and SIRT1 activates the HBV X protein (HBx). Moreover, RSV is responsible for hepatitis-related HCC proliferation via suppression of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), SIRT1 up-regulation, inhibiting expression of HBx, and reducing expression of cyclin D1.

conclusionDespite the promising properties of RSV in inhibiting hepatitis-related HCC cell proliferation, its antiviral effects in viral hepatitis are controversial. The antihepatitis behaviors of RSV are mainly dose-dependent, and in some studies, activating some hepatoprotective pathways increases the transcription and replication of chronic HBV and HCV. Therefore, healthcare providers should be aware of viral hepatitis before using RSV supplements.
