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 aging is a complex biological process influenced by both intrinsic factors such as hormonal changes, genetic programming, and immunosenescence and extrinsic stressors including ultraviolet (UV) radiation (particularly UV-A and UV-B), pollution, and lifestyle habits. One of the most prominent manifestations of skin aging is wrinkle formation, which arises from the progressive degradation of key extracellular matrix (ECM) components like collagen and elastin. Emerging evidence highlights the skin microbiome as a critical, yet underappreciated, modulator of these structural changes. This review summarizes current understanding of how aging alters skin structure and microbial composition, and how these changes contribute to wrinkle development. Age-associated skin is characterized by reduced hydration, sebum production, and barrier integrity, accompanied by a shift in microbial communities. These microbial shifts promote local inflammation, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activation, and oxidative stress, all of which accelerate ECM degradation. We further discuss how commensal microbes and their bioactive products such as probiotics and postbiotics can counteract wrinkle formation. Clinical studies support the efficacy of strains such as
