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

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation, particularly UVA and UVB, induces skin damage through oxidative stress and inflammation. However, existing UV protection materials fail to simultaneously block UV rays and scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS). To address this dual challenge, we developed pterostilbene (PTE)-loaded Tween 80 micelles, designated Tw80-based pharmaceutical dots (PTE-Tw80@PDs). This nanosystem exploited the chromophore's aggregation induced emission property: it absorbs UV radiation and re-emit it as harmless longer-wavelength light (410 nm), while delivering potent antioxidant activity. Physicochemical characterization confirmed PTE-Tw80@PDs to exhibit a narrow size distribution (∼10 nm), significantly enhanced fluorescence, and broad-spectrum UV attenuation (200-400 nm). In vitro assays demonstrated superior ROS scavenging over free PTE, reduced UV-induced cytotoxicity in HUVEC and HaCaT cells, and excellent biocompatibility based on Tween 80. This nanoplatform integrates UV shielding, ROS neutralization, and safe delivery, offering a promising strategy for comprehensive photoprotection.
