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

To elucidate resveratrol's (RES) effects on blood lipids and underlying mechanisms, this study integrated meta-analysis with network pharmacology and molecular dynamics simulations. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were systematically retrieved, screened, and assessed for quality, followed by meta-analysis. Separately, shared targets of RES and hyperlipidemia were identified, and protein-protein interaction networks were constructed using Cytoscape. Core targets were validated via molecular docking and 100 ns molecular dynamics simulations. Meta-analysis of seven RCTs (n = 337) revealed that RES significantly reduced triglycerides (TG) but showed no significant effects on total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, or high-density lipoprotein. Network pharmacology identified 794 RES-hyperlipidemia overlapping targets, with PPI analysis prioritizing three pro-inflammatory hubs: Interleukin-6 (IL6), Interleukin-1β (IL1B), and tumor necrosis factor. Molecular dynamics simulations confirmed stable RES binding to these targets, with strong binding free energies of - 13.95, - 11.86, and - 11.28 kcal/mol, respectively. RES specifically lowered TG but not other lipids, potentially through direct modulation of inflammatory pathways rather than classic lipid metabolism regulators. Comprehensive analysis indicated RES as a promising therapeutic candidate for hypertriglyceridemia.
