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

The escalating demand for effective and sustainable photoprotection has driven innovation in the sunscreen industry. This review highlights the unique strengths of algae-derived bioactive compounds-including mycosporine-like amino acids, carotenoids, and scytonemin-as next-generation, eco-friendly alternatives to conventional chemical sunscreens. Unlike previous studies, our work provides a comparative analysis of the photoprotective mechanisms, photostability, and multifunctional skin benefits of algal compounds, integrating recent advances in laboratory research and commercial applications. We also critically assess the commercial viability and environmental sustainability of algae-based sunscreens, drawing on current market trends and industry data. By synthesizing these findings, this review underscores the potential of algae-derived ingredients to revolutionize the photoprotective skincare market, offering superior efficacy, safety, and ecological benefits. Our analysis provides actionable insights for researchers and industry stakeholders seeking to advance sustainable skincare solutions.
