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

Introduction: Resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound commonly found in natural plants and fruits, exhibits potential in preventing optic nerve damage in glaucoma, as indicated by several animal studies. However, there is presently a dearth of relevant evidence available for comprehensive summarization. Methods: In this study, we conducted an extensive search across 7 electronic databases, encompassing all pertinent animal studies for a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methodological quality was evaluated using SYRCLE's bias risk tool, with statistical analysis performed using Stata 17.0. The primary outcome measures included the survival of retinal ganglion cells and retinal thickness. Results: The comprehensive analysis of the 30 included studies revealed that resveratrol can enhance the expression of Sirtuin 1(SIRT1) protein in retinal tissue (SMD: 3.00, 95% CI: 2.46, 3.53, P = 0.095), boost the survival rate of retinal ganglion cells (SMD: 4.33, 95% CI: 3.28, 5.38, P < 0.05), decelerate the thinning of retinal thickness (SMD: 4.26, 95% CI: 2.77, 5.75, P < 0.05), and enhance visual function. Its potential mechanism of action may involve the suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokine levels and cell apoptosis. Discussion: Resveratrol emerges as a promising agent for mitigating glaucoma-related retinal damage. However, given that the animal research models utilized in the study may not fully reflect the intricate scenarios of multiple coexisting diseases in clinical settings, and the administration methods in animal models may differ from those in clinical practice, future studies should aim to provide higher levels of evidence to facilitate the clinical translation of these findings. Systematic Review Registration: identifier [CRD42024535673].
