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

The epidermis acts as the body's primary defense, relying on components like lipids, HA and GSH for skin barrier function, hydration and resistance to oxidative stress. However, limitations in the topical application of these biomolecules call for novel approaches. This study investigates the efficacy of Pro-GHL, a blend of free fatty acids, acetylglucosamine and GSH amino acid precursors (GAPs), designed to replenish skin lipids, HA and GSH through de novo biosynthesis. Using primary human keratinocytes, Pro-GHL demonstrated superior antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities compared to each individual component under the challenge of UVB or blue light.
