Understanding of Benzophenone UV Absorber-Induced Damage and Apoptosis in Human Hepatoma Cells.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Benzophenone UV absorbers (BPs), a widely used family of organic UV absorbers (UVAs), have attracted considerable attention for their effects on organisms in recent years. Previous research has been unable to illuminate the intricate situation of BP pollution. To address this knowledge gap, we devised a BAPG-chain model that surpasses existing approaches based on biochemical detection, antioxidant defense systems, proteins, and genes to investigate the biological mechanisms of benzophenone-1 (BP-1) and benzophenone-3 (BP-3) within human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells as model organisms. The BAPG-chain model links the cellular model, molecular level, macroscopic scale, and microscopic phenomena by adopting a global assessment mindset. Our findings indicate that BPs induce apoptosis via the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial and nuclear damage, and disruption of the antioxidant stress system. Notably, BPs induce apoptosis via alterations in the expression of genes and proteins associated with apoptosis in the mitochondria. Our experimental evidence sheds light on the biological effects of BPs and highlights the need for further research in this area.
