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

backgroundSupramolecular technology has been widely applied in cosmetics due to its ability to enhance the stability of active substances and reduce their irritation potential. The synergistic interaction between polysaccharides can produce new products with characteristics and rheological properties that make them suitable for various applications.

objectiveThe supramolecularly assembly of Dendrobium officinale polysaccharide (DOP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) was produced, and its moisturizing effect was verified to provide a basis for the application of supramolecular technology in cosmetic functional raw materials.

methodsThe supramolecular structure of polysaccharide assembly samples was verified through scanning electron microscopic observation. Moisture absorption and the ability of samples to resist cell drying damage before and after supramolecular assembly were evaluated by moisture absorption experiments and a cell drying damage model, respectively. Furthermore, this study validated the moisturizing effect of the supramolecular compositions during their application in cosmetics through tests of skin moisture content in extremely dry environments (during the winter season of Beijing, China), skin roughness and scale index, and trans epidermal water loss.

resultsThe supramolecular composition appeared as a large sheet-like structure under a scanning electron microscope. Further, the supramolecular composition had significantly improved moisture absorption performance and could effectively resist cell drying damage. In an extremely dry environment, the composition showed excellent moisturizing performance and effectively improved skin scale and roughness.

conclusionsThe supramolecular assembly of DOP and HA has a synergistic moisturizing effect; thus, it can be expected to have a good moisturizing effect when applied to cosmetics.
