Biochemical Mechanism of Thai Fermented Soybean Extract on UVB-Induced Skin Keratinocyte Damage and Inflammation.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 a key factor contributing to photodamage in epidermal cells. This study investigated the protective effects of Thua Nao, a Thai fermented soybean product, against UVB-induced damage in human epidermal keratinocytes (HaCaT) and the underlying mechanisms. Thua Nao extract fractions were prepared using a solvent partition method. We found that the dichloromethane fraction (TN-DC), along with its isoflavones daidzein and glycitein, significantly protected against UVB-induced HaCaT cell death. This protection involved inhibiting caspase-9 and caspase-3 activation, thus preventing apoptosis. Additionally, treatment with TN-DC, daidzein, and glycitein suppressed the UVB-induced production of inflammatory mediators, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and cyclooxygenase-2. These protective effects were associated with reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species and enhanced the levels of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase 4. Signaling pathway analysis revealed that TN-DC activated the pro-survival ERK1/2 and Akt pathways while decreased the phosphorylation of JNK in UVB-exposed cells. On the other hand, daidzein and glycitein enhanced ERK1/2 activation and reduced the phosphorylation of JNK and p38 MAPKs. The involvement of ERK1/2 and Akt activation in cell survival was confirmed using specific inhibitors. Thus, TN-DC and its isoflavones protects keratinocytes from UVB-induced oxidative damage and inflammation by modulating MAPKs and Akt signaling.
