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

Photoaging is a multifactorial and progressive skin aging process primarily triggered by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This condition leads to both structural and functional impairments in the skin, including the formation of wrinkles, loss of elasticity, pigmentation irregularities, and an elevated risk of skin malignancies. At the core of photoaging is the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which generate oxidative stress, initiate chronic inflammation, cause DNA damage, and accelerate the breakdown of the extracellular matrix-largely through the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The review provides a comprehensive analysis of various natural substances, including antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, photoprotective compounds, and emerging regenerative treatments, based on in vitro and in vivo research. Special emphasis is placed on natural substances, including polyphenols, cannabinoids, carotenoids, retinoids, and vitamins, highlighting their potential in preventing and treating photoaging. This review aims to present a detailed, evidence-based overview of photoaging mechanisms and innovative approaches to mitigate its effects.
