Nanoparticles fabricated from the bioactive tilapia scale collagen for wound healing: Experimental approach.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The creation of innovative wound-healing nanomaterials based on natural compounds emerges as a top research goal. This research aimed to create a gel containing collagen nanoparticles and evaluate its therapeutic potential for skin lesions. Collagen nanoparticles were produced from fish scales using desolvation techniques. Using SDS PAGE electrophoresis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) as well as the structure of the isolated collagen and its similarities to collagen type 1 were identified. The surface morphology of the isolated collagen and its reformulation into nanoparticles were examined using transmission and scanning electron microscopy. A Zeta sizer was used to examine the size, zeta potential, and distribution of the synthesized collagen nanoparticles. The cytotoxicity of the nanomaterials was investigated and an experimental model was used to evaluate the wound healing capability. The overall collagen output from Tilapia fish scales was 42%. Electrophoretic patterns revealed that the isolated collagen included a unique protein with chain bands of 126-132 kDa and an elevated beta band of 255 kDa. When compared to the isolated collagen, the collagen nanoparticles' FTIR results revealed a significant drop in the amide II (42% decrease) and amide III (32% decrease) band intensities. According to SEM analysis, the generated collagen nanoparticles ranged in size from 100 to 350 nm, with an average diameter of 182 nm determined by the zeta sizer. The produced collagen nanoparticles were polydispersed in nature and had an equivalent average zeta potential of -17.7 mV. Cytotoxicity study showed that, when treating fibroblast cells with collagen nanoparticle concentrations, very mild morphological alterations were detected after human skin fibroblasts were treated with collagen nanoparticles 32 μg/ml for 24 hours, as higher concentrations of collagen nanoparticles caused cell detachment. Macroscopical and histological investigations proved that the fabricated fish scale collagen nanoparticles promoted the healing process in comparison to the saline group.
