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

Skin aging is influenced by structural alterations, oxidative stress, inflammation, and microbiome changes, and a comprehensive approach to addressing these factors may be effective for mitigating skin aging. This study evaluates the multifaceted anti-aging effects of heat-killed (HK-HN910) and lysed (LS-HN910) forms of Lactobacillus paragasseri HN910. Protective effects on cell viability, cell permeability, nitric oxide (NO) production, and skin anti-aging gene expression for both HK-HN910 and LS-HN910 were observed. Both forms significantly enhanced tight junction (TJ) protein zonula occludens- 1 (ZO- 1) and antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPx) gene expression, while significantly downregulating that of senescence-associated secretory phenotype pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)- 1α, IL- 1β, IL- 6, IL- 8, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα). LS-HN910 showed significantly greater upregulation of ZO- 1 and GPx and greater downregulation of IL- 1β and TNFα expression compared to HK-HN910. Cell wall component D-alanine (D-Ala) was released in higher amounts in LS-HN910 than in HK-HN910 and demonstrated anti-aging effects. D-Ala upregulated gene expression of skin barrier ZO- 1, claudin- 1 (Cla- 1), occludin (OCC), filaggrin (FLG), and sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 2 (SMPD2) and antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and GPx, while downregulating IL- 1α, IL- 1β, IL- 6, IL- 8, and TNFα. LS-HN910 treatment clinically revealed improvements in anti-aging parameters, including transepidermal water loss, skin water contents, sebum levels, dermal density, eye wrinkle index, skin pH, brightness, and microbiota composition, with a significant increase in Rhodococcus abundance. These findings indicate that LS-HN910, containing released D-Ala, is a promising cosmeceutical for preventing skin aging by enhancing the skin barrier, promoting oxidative defense, modulating inflammatory responses, and influencing skin microbiota.
