Narrative objectives1

To examine whether, in healthy adults, oral intake of a test substance containing lycopene provides photoprotective effects against ultraviolet (UV) exposure compared with oral intake of a non-lycopene product, a product containing an extremely low concentration of lycopene, or no intervention.

Key inclusion criteria

(PICOS)
Participant:
Healthy adults without illness (excluding minor under 18 years old, pregnant women, those planning to become pregnant, and lactating women)

Intervention:
Oral intake of test foods containing lycopene, regardless of the form, dosage, or duration of intake.

Comparison:
Oral intake of test foods that does not contain lycopene, or has an extremely low concentration of lycopene compared to the intervention, or no intervention at all.

Outcome measurement:
The erythema (a* value) at the UV-irradiated site is the primary outcome. The Minimal Erythema Dose (MED), the L* value at the UV-irradiated site, the Erythema Index at the UV-irradiated site, and D30 are the secondary outcomes. The measurements at the final evaluation time point will be used as outcomes.

Study design:
Randomized parallel group-controlled trial (RCT-P), randomized crossover-controlled trial (RCT-C), quasi-randomized parallel group-controlled trial (qRCT-P), quasi-randomized crossover-controlled trial (qRCT-C), non-randomized parallel group-controlled trial (nonRCT-P), non-randomized crossover-controlled trial (nonRCT-C), and non-randomized controlled trial are the study designs of clinical trials.

(Language)
Eligibility is not restricted by language.

Key exclusion criteria

Studies that do not aim to evaluate photoprotective effects against UV exposure will be excluded. Studies that assess the safety of excessive lycopene intake by administering large amounts of lycopene over a short period will also be excluded. Conference proceedings (such as meeting abstracts) and unpublished materials, for which detailed verification is not feasible, will be excluded. In addition, other forms of grey literature will be excluded because their appropriateness cannot be adequately ascertained.

Other related information

(Search strategy)
Seven databases and research registries will be searched by a searcher. FFC database will be searched and omitted related studies will be added to the review. The studies found by other methods will be added.


(Selection and data collection)
It will be conducted based on eligibility criteria independently by two reviewers. Disagreements will be resolved by discussion between the reviewers.


(Risk of bias)
It will be assessed independently by two reviewers using modified check list (13 items) of Cochrane Handbook for interventional trials. Disagreements will be resolved by discussion between the reviewers. The agreement rate and the kappa coefficient will be calculated. Studies with a high risk of bias will not be adopted.

(Indirectness)
It will be evaluated independently by two reviewers.

(Data synthesis)
A meta-analysis will be performed using RevMan Web only in the absence of heterogeneity. Studies with missing data will be excluded if no data is available by contacting the author. If not suitable for synthesis, a qualitative assessment will be carried out. Sensitivity analysis and sub-group analysis will be performed as needed based on the results of selected articles.

(Imprecision)
It will be assessed based on the total number of participants.

(Inconsistency)
It will be evaluated by the I square value and statistical test in a meta-analysis. When a meta-analysis cannot be conducted, each study outcome will be classified as showing a significant effect (P) or no significant effect (N), and inconsistency will be evaluated in three levels based on the concordance rate of these classifications.

(Publication bias)
It will be assessed from Funnel plot and the reporting status of studies registered in research registries. When a meta-analysis cannot be conducted, publication bias will be assessed based solely on the reporting status of studies registered in research registries.
