Methods to Investigate the Epidermal Permeability Barrier and the Light Irradiation Barrier In Vitro and Ex Vivo.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 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
The skin deploys multiple barriers to protect internal tissues and organs, as well as the skin itself, from the external environment. Each of the skin constituents-epidermis, dermis, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, hair, and adipose tissue-contributes to making these barriers competent to maintain proper biological functions. Among these constituents, the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin) is the first line of defense, so it is most responsible for skin barrier functions. A competent skin barrier is needed to protect against excess loss of water and other endogenous compounds from body, oxidative stress, sun and other sources of light irradiation, thermal stress, microbial invasion, substance permeation, and mechanical stress. In this chapter, we describe methods to assess both the epidermal permeability barrier and the light irradiation barrier using in vitro and ex vivo skin organ-cultured systems.
