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

objectiveThis study aimed to explore the anti-skin aging efficacy of a novel serum containing acetyl hexapeptide-8, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, gluconolactone, niacinamide and laminaria extract through one ex-vivo study and two clinical studies.

methodsIn ex-vivo study, skin samples were exposed to the serum (Formula 1) and its active ingredient combinations (Formula 2). Biomarkers including matrix metalloproteinase-1, elastic fibres and collagen types I, III, IV and XVII content were analyzed to evaluate the efficacy. In clinical study 1 (n = 50), the Formula 1's efficacy in reducing static wrinkles and improving skin quality was examined, while study 2 (n = 42) focused on its efficacy against dynamic wrinkles.

resultsFormula 1 significantly increased levels of anti-aging biomarkers including elastic fibres, collagen fibres, etc. Meanwhile, Formula 1 significantly improved static wrinkle appearance within the first week, with mean clinical scoring from 35% to 69% for various types of wrinkles after 12 weeks of use (all p < 0.001). The clinical scoring for dynamic wrinkles improved by 10%-13% (all p < 0.001). Additionally, significant improvements were observed in skin quality, indicated by clinical scoring changes of smoothness (30%), radiance (27%), skin pore (43%), elasticity (33%) and firmness (36%) (all p < 0.001).

conclusionThe serum demonstrates significant anti-aging effects, effectively improving static and dynamic wrinkles and skin quality.
