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
N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) can alleviate ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced skin cancers, but their effects on sunburn and upcoming wound healing remain controversial. This study aimed to explore the impact of n-3 PUFA-enriched fish oil (n-3 PUFA-FO) on UVB-induced sunburns and subsequent healing. Sixty C57BL/6 female mice were divided into two groups. The treated group mice were fed n-3 PUFA-FO for the entire duration of the experiment. Mice in the control group were fed a standard diet. After two weeks of n-3 PUFA-FO feeding, mice were exposed to UVB for 20 min and sacrificed 20 d later. Skin photodamage and lesion area were recorded during wound healing. Epidermal lesion thickness was quantified in hematoxylin and eosin-stained skin sections. Inflammation and macrophage polarization were assessed by qRT-PCR. Oxidative stress and antioxidant enzyme activity were quantified using specific ELISA kits. N-3 PUFA-FO feeding decreased UVB photodamage and accelerated wound healing progression, both of which were coupled with less intense inflammation and increased macrophage M2 phenotype polarization. Furthermore, n-3 PUFA-FO brought about a decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels but increased the activity of catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GP), without changing superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. N-3 PUFA-FO protects against UVB-induced skin photodamage and promotes wound healing by modulating macrophage phenotypic polarization and antioxidant enzyme activities. N-3 PUFA-FO could be a novel therapeutic approach for both the prevention and treatment of sunburns.
