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

Skin modeling is a crucial tool in dermatology, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical research. However, replicating the skin barrier function in these models remains challenging. Recent advances in lipidomics have highlighted significant differences between skin models and native human skin. Notably, self-assembled tissues exhibit an accumulation of 2-linoleoylglycerol, a monoacylglycerol containing a linoleic acid moiety. This study investigated the impact of 2-linoleoylglycerol on the skin lipidome and testosterone permeability in skin substitutes produced via the self-assembly method. The treatment of skin substitutes with 2-linoleoylglycerol resulted in higher levels of linoleic acid in epidermal phospholipids. Testosterone permeability remained largely unaffected by 2-linoleoylglycerol supplementation, and there was a modest impact on the expression of tight junction proteins. Although monoacylglycerol degradation by monoacylglycerol lipase was unchanged, its synthesis by diacylglycerol lipase β appeared to be influenced by exogenous 2-linoleoylglycerol, since the level of RNA gene transcription was decreased. In conclusion, these results show that the accumulation of 2-linoleoylglycerol in the epidermis of skin substitutes could be one of the factors that affect the lipid metabolism of the skin model.
