Review in American journal of clinical dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07722351 (Instrumental Assessment of a Homocysteic Acid-containing Chemical Skin Biostimulator in the Management of Photoaged Mature Skin), which is not on this map. Cited by 25 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Photoaging is the consequence of chronic exposure to solar irradiation, encompassing ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared wavelengths. Over time, this exposure causes cumulative damage, leading to both aesthetic changes and structural degradation of the skin. These effects manifest as rhytids, dyschromia, textural changes, elastosis, volume loss, telangiectasias, and hyperkeratosis, collectively contributing to a prematurely aged appearance that exceeds the skin's chronological age. The hallmarks of photoaging vary significantly by skin phototype. Skin of color tends to exhibit dyschromia and features associated with "intrinsic" aging, such as volume loss, while white skin is more prone to "extrinsic" aging characteristics, including rhytids and elastosis. Moreover, susceptibility to different wavelengths within the electromagnetic spectrum also differs by skin phototype, influencing the clinical presentation of photoaging, as well as prevention and treatment strategies. Fortunately, photoaging-and its associated adverse effects-is largely preventable and, to some extent, reversible. However, effective prevention and treatment strategies require careful tailoring to an individual's skin type. In this review, we summarize molecular mechanisms underlying photoaging, examine its clinical manifestations, outline risk factors and prevention strategies, and highlight recent advancements in its treatment.
