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
backgroundSolar exposure is the primary extrinsic factor contributing to skin aging. Sensitive skin, characterized by impaired barrier function and heightened reactivity, may be more vulnerable to solar-induced damage. However, the potential interaction between skin sensitivity and solar exposure in accelerating skin aging has not been systematically quantified using objective clinical measurements.
objectivesTo investigate the interactive effects of skin sensitivity and solar exposure on multiple aging-related skin parameters using multimodal noninvasive measurement techniques.
methodsThis single-center observational study enrolled 124 healthy Chinese female volunteers aged 25-34 years. Participants were categorized according to skin sensitivity (sensitive vs. nonsensitive) and occupational solar exposure (indoor vs. outdoor), forming four groups (n = 31 per group): indoor sensitive (IS), outdoor sensitive (OS), indoor nonsensitive (INS), and outdoor nonsensitive (ONS). Skin barrier function, surface morphology, elasticity, dermal structure, and sebum secretion were evaluated using a series of noninvasive instruments. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to assess the main effects and interaction effects of skin sensitivity and solar exposure.
resultsSignificant interaction effects between skin sensitivity and solar exposure were observed for seven aging-related parameters, including transepidermal water loss (TEWL), stratum corneum thickness (SCT), second harmonic generation (SHG), autofluorescence (AF), skin roughness, nasolabial fold length, and sebum secretion (p < 0.05). The outdoor sensitive group exhibited the most pronounced aging phenotype, characterized by increased TEWL, reduced stratum corneum thickness, decreased SHG and AF signals, greater skin roughness, and longer nasolabial folds.
conclusionSkin sensitivity and solar exposure exhibit a significant synergistic effect in the skin aging process. Individuals with sensitive skin under chronic solar exposure demonstrate more severe barrier dysfunction, dermal matrix degradation, and wrinkle formation. These findings suggest that sensitive skin represents a high-risk phenotype for photoaging and highlight the importance of combined barrier repair and effective photoprotection strategies for this population.
