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

β-glucan is a natural polysaccharide widely found in plants, fungi, bacteria, and algae. Due to its significant immunomodulatory effects, it has become an important source for functional foods and pharmaceuticals. In addition to immune regulation, β-glucan also exhibits various bioactivities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, barrier repair, and moisturizing effects, demonstrating great potential for applications in skin care. Its biological activity is influenced by factors such as its source, molecular structure, and physicochemical properties. This review systematically explores the relationship between the properties and functions of β- glucan, investigates its biological mechanisms, and summarizes its clinical applications and future prospects in skin care. The aim of this paper is to provide theoretical support for the development of β-glucan in the field of skin health and offer references for future related research and clinical practice.
