Prevention and Repair of Ultraviolet B-Induced Skin Damage in Hairless Mice via Transdermal Delivery of Growth Factors Immobilized in a Gel-in-Oil Nanoemulsion.
Article in ACS omega, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources is one of the primary causes of skin damage, including sunburns, tanning, erythema, and skin cancer. Among the three different types of UV rays, UVB rays have a medium wavelength that can penetrate the epidermal layer of the skin, resulting in sunburn, suntan, blistering, and melanoma in case of chronic exposure. This study aimed to evaluate the preventive and therapeutic effects of a gel-in-oil nanogel dispersion (G/O-NGD) as a transdermal delivery biomolecular carrier for skin damage caused by UVB light. The efficacy of this carrier against UVB-induced skin damage was investigated in vivo by delivering different growth factors (GFs) encapsulated in a G/O-NGD. Artificial UVB light was used to induce skin damage in nude mice, followed by the transdermal application of five GF [vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor (TGF)-1, and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-α]-immobilized G/O-NGD. Among these GFs, VEGF and bFGF promoted angiogenesis, while EGF, TGF-1, and IGF-α promoted the repair and regeneration of damaged cells. The results showed that G/O-NGD was superior to heparin-immobilized G/O-NGD in reducing UVB-induced skin damage, such as erythema, epidermal water reduction, inflammation, and dermis thickening. In addition, G/O-NGD could prevent and treat abnormal follicle proliferation caused by UVB rays and exhibited potential to repair lipid glands. Overall, our results demonstrate the potential of G/O-NGDs for the treatment of UVB-induced skin damage.
