Inhibitory Effects of Grape Stem Extracts From Douro Varieties on Skin-Aging Enzymes: A Sustainable Source of Cosmeceutical Agents.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundGrape stems are a major by-product of the winemaking process and remain largely underexploited despite their richness in bioactive phenolic compounds, representing an opportunity for sustainable valorization within a circular economy framework.
aimsThis study aimed to characterize the phenolic composition and evaluate the antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities of grape stem extracts from different cultivars grown in the Douro Demarcated Region.
methodsGrape stems from 12 Vitis vinifera cultivars were extracted and analyzed for total phenolic content, ortho-diphenols, and flavonoids. Antioxidant capacity was assessed using FRAP and DPPH assays, while bioactivity was further evaluated through elastase and hyaluronidase inhibition assays.
resultsTotal phenolic content ranged from 35.2 to 89.6 mg GAE/g DW, with Sousão exhibiting the highest values. Ortho-diphenols and flavonoids showed marked cultivar-dependent variability, with Verdelho and Cercial presenting values above 20 mg CAE/g DW and 15 mg QE/g DW, respectively. Antioxidant activity reached up to 920 μmol TE/g DW (FRAP) and 85% DPPH radical scavenging. Enzyme inhibition assays revealed strong cultivar-dependent bioactivity, with Sousão, Verdelho, and Gouveio extracts achieving over 60% inhibition of elastase and hyaluronidase.
conclusionsThe results highlight the significant influence of grape cultivar on the bioactive potential of grape stems and support their valorization as promising raw materials for nutraceutical and cosmeceutical applications.
