Protective effects of Passiflora edulis Sims peel fermentation polysaccharide against UVB-induced photodamage via antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.
Article in Bioresources and bioprocessing, 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
Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation is the primary cause of photodamage to the skin, triggering the oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and impaired barrier integrity. We extracted polysaccharides from Passiflora edulis Sims peel via microbial fermentation (PP-FP) and characterized their structural properties using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and molecular weight analyses. Photoprotective effects were evaluated in UVB- irradiated HaCaT cells and BALB/c mice dorsal skin by measuring of oxidative stress markers, mitochondrial function, DNA damage, and skin barrier proteins. PP-FP contains a furanose ring structure, exhibits an irregular, loosely layered morphology with attached filamentous and porous structures, and shows a number-average molecular weight (Mn) of 3.519 kDa and a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 6.66 kDa. In UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells, PP-FP (500 µg/mL) significantly enhanced cell migration capacity (achieving 79.39% wound closure at 48 h), reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, alleviated mitochondrial membrane potential aberrations, and decreased interleukin-17 (IL-17) release by 63%. Concurrently, it markedly elevated key skin barrier protein levels in HaCaT cells, notably enhancing filaggrin (FLG, 1.82-fold) and lamellar oligomerizing protein (LOR, 2.04-fold) expression. Furthermore, PP-FP maintained epidermal thickness, suppressed formation of DNA damage marker γ-H2AX, downregulated matrix metalloproteinase-3/9 (MMP3/9) expression by 40-50%, and effectively preserving epidermal barrier function. This study demonstrates that fermentation-derived Passiflora edulis Sims polysaccharides mitigate UVB damage through a dual mechanisms-antioxidant protection and barrier reinforcement-providing a sustainable strategy to repurpose agricultural byproducts for high-efficacy skincare formulations.
