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 manifests as structural degradation, functional decline, and heightened disease susceptibility. Central to this process is the overactivation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway triggered by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Autophagy, a lysosomal degradation mechanism essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis, demonstrates context-dependent duality in skin aging by mediating cytoprotective effects and stress-induced dysfunction. Emerging evidence highlights that the interplay between MAPK signaling and autophagy critically modulates skin aging progression. Despite its therapeutic potential, the lack of effective targeting strategies severely hinders clinical translation. Therefore, this review synthesizes current evidence on MAPK-autophagy interplay across key cutaneous cell populations, namely, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and melanocytes (including melanoma), revealing cell-type-specific regulatory networks that influence skin aging. Subsequently, we explore the therapeutic potential of natural bioactive compounds targeting this interplay to accelerate the translation of evidence into the progression of strategies for combating skin aging.
