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

backgroundSensitive skin requires targeted care to improve barrier function, reduce inflammation, and manage neurovascular reactivity.

objectiveEncorelane, a novel ingredient blend of saccharide isomerate, ribose, and fructooligosaccharides, was evaluated for its efficacy in addressing sensitive skin and visible aging signs.

methodsIn vitro: A 3D epidermal model (EpiKutis) with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) induction was used to assess cytokines (interleukin 1α [IL-1α], interleukin 6 [IL-6], interleukin 8 [IL-8], tumor necrosis factor α [TNF-α], prostaglandin E2 [PGE2]) and barrier markers (filaggrin [FLG], loricrin [LOR], transglutaminase 1 [TGM1]). Hydration was examined via aquaporin 3 (AQP3) expression levels. Anti-wrinkle efficacy was tested against UVA/UVB exposure, evaluating collagen synthesis and skin matrix components (Collagen types I, III, IV, VII, XVII, Laminin 5, hyaluronic acid [HA], Chondroitin sulfate [CS]). In vivo: A 6-week double-blind, half-face study in 23 sensitive-skin subjects evaluated the clinical effects of Encorelane versus placebo on repair, redness, firmness, and wrinkles.

resultsIn vitro: Compared to the control group, Encorelane significantly reduced the levels of IL-1α, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, and PGE2 (p < 0.05), and significantly increased the levels of AQP3, FLG, LOR, TGM1, collagen types I, III, IV, VII, XVII, and laminin 5 (p < 0.05). In vivo: Compared to the placebo, Encorelane significantly improved TEWL, R2, F4, and crow's feet wrinkles (p < 0.05).

conclusionEncorelane effectively targets both inflammation and aging signs, supporting its use as a dermocosmetic solution for sensitive, aging-prone skin.
