Microencapsulated UV filter@ZIF-8 based sunscreens for broad spectrum UV protection.
Article in RSC advances, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Sunscreens play a vital role in protecting human skin from photodamage upon UV exposure, but their effectiveness is limited by degradation and phototoxicity. Photoactivation of UV filters in sunscreen can generate reactive oxygen species, with accompanying cytotoxicity. Herein, we report stable, safe, fluorescent, and long-lasting sunscreens produced by microencapsulation of organic UV filters octylmethoxycinnamate (OMC) and butyl-methoxydibenzoylmethane (BMDM), alone and together, into a microporous zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF-8). The visibly transparent OMC + BMDM@ZIF-8 sunscreens displayed complete broad-spectrum photoprotection against UV light even after 24 hours. Photostability testing of the sunscreens demonstrated the photo-protective nature of microporous ZIF-8 for stabilizing these UV filters. The sun protection factor (SPF) values for lotions containing 10% (w/w) OMC@ZIF-8, BMDM@ZIF-8 and OMC + BMDM@ZIF-8 sunscreens decreased from 29.8 to 26.0, 32.5 to 26.4, and 62.1 to 53.0, respectively, upon 24 hours of intense UV exposure. No release of the UV filters from the encapsulated formulations was observed. The ZIF-8 particles are too large to be transported across the stratum corneum. Thus, our findings suggest that zeolitic framework-encapsulated sunscreens could provide prolonged UV-protection efficacy and ultra-high SPF with reduced potential for degradation, phototoxicity, and transport across the skin.
