Biomimetic UV photo-protection of skin surface by structured epicuticular wax films.

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
The realms of biomimicry encourage us to explore and replicate the remarkable functionalities found in the big variety of living organisms such as plants, birds, animals etc. Inspired by the ultraviolet (UV) reflective characteristics of self-assembled epicuticular wax of plant leaves, in this article, we present a biomimetic plant-inspired approach to pattern the surface of skin with wax coatings and enhance its UV resistance. Through a physico-chemical approach, we coat chemically homogenous (as well as heterogenous) chemical composition of waxes from its solution on quartz substrate. By controlling the self-assembly conditions, diverse surface morphologies are obtained with
