Hidden benefits of snail mucus: A natural skincare marvel.
Review in Biomolecules & biomedicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Dear Editor, From a scientific perspective, snail mucus, or snail secretion filtrate (SSF), has emerged as a significant discovery in dermatology and regenerative medicine. Several studies on mucus composition have illuminated its features in recent years, yet much remains unexplored. High-quality snail mucus contains adequate levels of active substances (e.g., allantoin, glycolic acid, proteins, glycosaminoglycans, and polyphenols). It comprises a complex mixture of proteins, enzymes, peptides, and trace minerals produced both externally and internally, which improves skin hydration, flexibility, and smoothness. This makes it an ideal ingredient for anti-aging creams, moisturizers, and serums. The beauty and pharmaceutical industries popularize commercial SSF products due to their natural composition and scientifically proven performance as a promising dermatological treatment. These products offer synergistic therapeutic effects, including cell signaling, tissue growth, tissue repair, wound healing, hydration, anti-aging properties, and exfoliation. Read more in the PDF.
