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

Lignin possesses unique natural antioxidation and UV-absorption abilities, making it a promising ingredient for sunscreen. However, the industrial lignin produced from pulping or bioethanol production generally shows low efficiency due to the limited phenolic hydroxyl content and poor compatibility with sunscreen, respectively. To address this issue, a molten salt hydrate treatment process was carried out for the selective cleavage of ether bonds in industrial lignin. After treatment, a 2-fold increase in phenolic hydroxyl content was observed, and lignin antioxidation efficiency was improved. The intermolecular forces of lignin in water measured by an atomic force microscope showed a significant decrease from -1.46 to 0.46 mN/m, suggesting an efficient increase in lignin hydrophilicity, which promoted lignin compatibility with sunscreen. We converted industrial lignin into colloidal balls, which improved compatibility and dispersion in the cream and more than tripled the sun protection factor compared to the direct addition of industrial lignin.
